If your going for a system like that, and money isnt an issue to you, why dont you go for the GeForce3.

I've had problems both times I've ordered from this lousy company. Don't waiste your money. As for the RAM, go to Crucial and order the PC2100 from there. The review I read on their PC1600 overclocked to 300MHz at CAS2! So the PC2100 should do just fine and probably do better than Step's RAM. As for the cooler, save your money and get a quality cooler and look for an AXIA T-Bird to overclock. Hope that helps.
