Well I dont exactly need to upgrade or do anything I mean my computer now does everything I want. It's just I wanna play like CS:S and all those new games. Plus my sisters computer isn't that great so I would just be passing my current one down to her.
I didn't really know the 64's were finicky, but I've pretty much chosen like the more common parts I see people using sooo hopefully that wont be a prob.

You don't have to get two cards now, one of the selling points for SLI is it allows you to purchase another card next year which will keep you up with the latest games. This new card will also be quite cheap as it will be essentially a year old.
Also do you want PCI-E compatability?
I have head alot of good things about this board though.

Yea I think I'm just going to stick with AGP, even though I wouldn't mind having PCI-e I don't want to pay like 70-100 more for the motherboard.

This ram will be fine, you're unlikely to notice much difference between 2-2-2 and 2.5-3-3 in real world terms, unless you are really bothered about benchmarking. Have yo read the compatability articles about ram in socket 939 systems though?

Have you heard anything about the Geil value ram? I haven't read anything about compatability issues with ram and 939 systems. But the author of the thread suggested that ram when asked.
Harddrive- well pretty much I don't wanna pay for the cost of the 74gb Raptor yea I heard it performs better but it costs a lot. Do you have any other suggestions for harddrives? Maxtor? How are the 16mb cache ones?
Thanks for the advice guys
