So would this work with my mobo and rest of my comp? And hwy are there some many different ones that are 512 MB?

 

[mrwxyz]

there are different speeds of ram and different timings of ram. u want to get atleast pc3200, which u have. timings arent very important with a64 systems.

no, thats a gigantic waste of money.

 

[pirred908]

Why are you getting a 6800 Ultra? Get the BFG 6800 GT and overclock it to Ultra speeds. Why are you getting socket 754? 939 is better.

no, you will have to get a 939 socket processor and mobo, which will cost a lot more than what you have picked out right now

Oh yes, the processor. I suggest the FX-53 if you can afford it.
