I have read the hardware section in an A+ book  so I know a little about hardware.
So, I was thinking of getting a bare-bone PC and just starting with that and slowly upgrading. Now, herein lies the problem.
I can get a bare-bone for $70 that uses SDRAM (Socket A)
I can also get a bare-bone for $130 that uses DDR SDRAM (Socket A)
See, I dont want to spend 500 bucks for a system thats not going to work. Id rather spend like 200 for the first time so I can see if I can really build a system. But, all me friends say I should go with DDR SDRAM (which in turn is more expensive- but is not going to be obsolete by 04)
So, DDR SDRAM or SDRAM?

Depending on the speed of DDR supported, I would recommend DDR. DDR tends to be quite a bit faster then regular SDRAM.
