Dual channel benefits are basically a huge urban legend. It does help, but not noticeably in games. Having 1 GB of RAM is always better than having a lesser amount of dual channel. Get at least 1 GB of RAM. The videocard is midrange, so don't expect anything more than midrange performance. Someone mentioned the GeForce 6800 is an alternative...a good choice, especially since their prices are very close to each other at NewEgg.com. The processor is perfect. I don't really care about motherboards, because chipset performance is so minimal between mobos that you won't notice a difference. The rest looks great!
