If you're going to run Vista you should up your ram to 4gigs. Other than that it looks pretty good Charlie. |

"If you're going to run Vista you should up your ram to 4gigs"
Amen. 2 gigs is almost minimum just to run the OS with basic features. And since you're planning on gaming, I would go ahead and get 4. You would be surprised at the difference in performance. |

It’s a must if you are going to run Vista. If you plan on staying at 2 gigs you have to turn most of its feature off. |

That works to an extent Charlie, when you've maxed out your MOBO that's when it sucks. |
