Wow thats a costly rig. Why did you settle for DDR2-533 when your processor supports a DDR2-800? How much does the E6400 cost? I have to fit the CPU + motherboard + RAM in my budget of around Rs.17000. I guess I might have to settle for 512MB RAM then... Which shop did you buy the components from?

It was invaluable to me :) -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
