K8N-E Deluxe is a definite. I want this board. The question is whether I should get the AMD 64 3400 with ram that costs me about $150, or go with the AMD 64 3200 and go with better RAM.
I do more programming and application work than gaming, but I would love to be able to play some games at decent frames (I never play games higher than 1024x764 so this isn't a huge thing).
I have been looking at this memory:

But I can't afford that and the 3400. Should I just go with cheaper 'value' ram? I want 1gb and want to buy another GB in the new year if I can.
What kind of cooling do I need with this hardware?
