Help with first build please!

[tigers]

This sound OK.

P4 2.6 800Mhz - $174.00
Abit IS7 - $94.00
1GB CRUCIAL ( 4 x 256MB ) PC3200 DDR DIMM - $180.00
SAMSUNG SP1604N 160GB (IDE, ULTRA ATA/133, 7200 RPM) - $112.00
9800 pro all in wonder - $333.00
Plextor PX708A DVD±RW Writer - $200.00
LifeStyle Series ATX Midsize Tower sonata - $104.00
Cordless MX Duo Cordless Elite Keyboard w/MX700 - $76.00
TOTAL = $1,273.00

I'll be using XP PRO. This is my first build so let me know if I am missing some compatibility issues here.

I was also wondering if I should get the IS7-G intead. I plan to network, but do I really need Gigabyte? Do I need this since I will be going wireless.

Thanks,
Ed

4 x 256 sticks of ram might not be a good idea.

i have a abit board and it only likes 2 sticks at the same time.

How about bumping the thread you already have on this topic in which you got the same advice.
Hell its even the same wording. Did you copy and paste.
