sell 2GB for extra cash lol since you have the ram already lol you can get a 7900GT for 240USD, not 450... 450 would be a GTX

You dont have a Monitor... What does it matter that your video card sucks?

Seriously.. What res do you need to do? Makes a BIOG difference in Video card selection.

Also, what BRAND of Power Supply is it?

Seriously Misdesigned PC.... Should of done a bit of research before Wasting money on 4 gigs... Windows XP doesnt know what to do with 4 gigs.....

i've had three sets of g.skill, one ddr400 and another ddr500. the first set of ddr500 i had to rma, but otherwise this second set is working solid at 250mhz 24/7. good stuff, great price. don't expect it to overclock past what it's rated though, since the chips don't respond to voltage (at least the ddr1s anyways).

If you want to spend an extra $200, Corsair has DDR2-800 with CAS3-4-3-9 (I believe those were the last three numbers).
