Go with 2 gigs of RAM, since you're spending a ton everywhere else.

I am going to get another gig in the next buying of parts.

I probably should pay attention while reading.

Nice, if you like Intel...and their "I can't beleive anyone will buy one!" Extreme Editions.

I prefer the better cost and performance with the AMD processors.

Don't mean to be too harsh. What do you plan on using this machine for?

EDIT: Judging by the video card, gaming? Sure you want Intel?

I think he will use it for playing games, and emails. Not even NASA uses such a robust system. What funny is that we have computers that are fast and no software that is developed yet that can benefit from it and tomorrow what we bought today is obsolete.

Try doing some photo realistic 3D rendering, or moving million + polygon models around on the screen. You can always use a faster computer for these types of applications.

Intel yes
I never used AMD not saying i would not but never had the chance to play with it, I might build a system for the Mrs using AMD in the future.

The Extreme Editions Duel Core is for testing of what?
Gaming
Graphics
Video editing
Medical software tests that only certifies Intel chip sets not AMD.
Apps like this.

The Extreme Edition is Intel's "numbers" chip. It was made to win a numbers war with AMD. They priced them so high because their yield is extremely low on them and they really don't want people to buy these chips in heavy numbers.

Basically, the AMD 64bit Dual-Cores out perform the higher-priced Intel chips in every benchmark, Video Editing used to be one section where AMD won out - but even that is no more. I won't even get into the fact that the Intel chips are disgusting when it comes to power usage and heat output compared to the AMDs...

The AMD 64bit Dual-Core Opterons win again , and again , and again , and again , and again

At the end of the day though, it is your money and your system - will be blazing fast no matter what.

Why so much power.

I have some of my clients who want to have theses EPC systems.
Allot more people are getting into home video editing.
The software they are buying needs power from what I am reading off the boxes there are buying. And home entertainment systems they want as well. People have money to burn I will help them with that.

I think Apple is better for video editing but people are scared of the unknown with apple how to use so on.

So they are looking to have a power house like this, at the same time have a system that cane be upgrade to Longhorn or XP64 in time.

The system is going to be used for this kind of testing.
the will be 2 drives for 2 different OS one XP 32 bit One for XP64/longhorn.
Which I have the 64 bit software coming to me in my action pack.

So yes NASA does have theses kind of system in place all ready.

Except for the EE, the other Intel dual cores are priced much lower than AMD's, aren't they? Under $300. Not sure what the AMD's are.
