688734 2008-07-17 08:36:00 Decision v1.1

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.33GHz LGA775 #E8600
Asus P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i SLI(C72XE) Skt-LGA775
4GB kit G.SKILL (2GB x 2) DDR2-1066 (PC-8500) CL5-5-5-15
LG GH20NS10 20X Internal SATA Black Color OEM SATA DVD WRITER (x2)
500GB Seagate Barracuda ES 7200.2 SATA 7200RPM 32Mb
3.5" Bay All-In-One Internal Card Reader, Three Face Plates
Windows Vista Home Premium x64 OEM DVD

Decided to keep some of my originals.
Buying a new hard drive and installing the Vista 64bit to it with a dual boot to XP Pro, ease myself into Vista.
Upped the ram to 4gig for the 64bit Vista boot.
Replacing both of my IDE optical drives
and replacing the floppy cause I never use it.
My budget has been raised a further $500 to $1500

Thoughts?

688735 2008-07-18 06:37:00 I have had mixed feedback on the G-Skill ram.
Does anyone use it?

Can anyone vouch for it or has anyone had a bad experience?

688739 2008-07-20 06:36:00 Don't you need a Video card (or 2) and a PSU to go with that? or do you already have those? Agent_24 (57)
