One more note regarding RAM - you are better off NOT buying it in a
store - in general they will sell you cheap 'value' RAM but charge you
'premium' RAM price for it, compared to what you can get online at
places like Newegg. For example, Best Buy sells 512 MB of Kingston
PC3200 for $79. This is good memory, but its not premium memory, its
basically Value RAM. At Newegg, on the other hand, I can get 512 MB of
Corsair XMS PC3200 with timings of 2-2-2-5 (the best you will find) for
under $70 with shipping.
Basically, you get ripped off buying RAM from a store.
