I have re-thought this through and considering RAM is SO cheap now, the new setup I want to go with is the following: ($$CANADIAN$$)

AMD K7 Thunderbird 1.2G 266FSB $189.99=218.48
ASUS A7M 266MHZ ATA-100 Socket A DDR ram $259.99= $298.98
Cambridge SoundWorks DeskTop Theater 5.1 DTT2200$179.99= $206.98
Sound Blaster Live! Value 5.1 OEM $89.99= $103.48
16x Pioneer DVD drive $99.99= $114.98
256 MB - 184 Pin DDRAM @ PC2100 / 266Mhz $89.99= $103.48

These are the parts I think I should get. If another DDR board comes out and the prices for DDR boards start to drop, then I will get that DDR board. Also, seeing as how I JUST bought the 256 mb pc 133 sdram, the vendor who sold it to me will give me a good price for it since he knows I JUST got it from him. I think seeing as how this upgrade will be the last one I do for at least 3 or 4 years, I should make it a good one, and everyone knows DDR is the wave of the future.

Tell me what you think.
p.s. I DON'T overclock and I run win 2k PRO.

Check out my Canadian buyers guide for some of the best prices available in Canada...

Also... you may consider going for Crucial DDR. Buying 2 DIMMs -- with exchange, shipping, taxes, etc... they come to $90 CDN each.
