I will very much let you know where i end up. Maybe pictures of the final set up.

I am also looking at the Belkin n52 game pad vs the x-keys pro to go with whatever other hardware i set up. Should be fun.

I see you did indeed have the quantity set up for 4 gb. I missed that, my bad. I am considering going xp pro 64 for the extra memory usage or vista home premium 64 bit for the extra memory usage.

I was told the memory of your video card is also counted towards the max 4 gb cap on systems. So with 4 gb and 512 mb from card without a 64 bit system seems like a bunch would go to waste.

I could look into just building a 3 gb system for regular xp home if that would be enough memory. I love the idea of having a weekly set up from a user on the forums so we can see what different people are using. Pics if possible.

waiting for the gurus to appear with their shock and awe. If they box with shammy it would be at least shock and maybe awe as well.
