There's no reason to get the 333MHz RAM unless you plan on overclocking, that board runs DDR 266.

Was only £4 difference so might aswell get the 333mhz

The system is so much more responsive than any AMD system i have , i dont mean speed wise, it just feels nicer to use. Like when you drive a car, some are nicer to drive and make you feel comfortable, etc while others feel weird and you cant pin point the exact problem. Anyway i love the P4's standby, i thought it had turned off altogether but when on standby it turns off all fans,etc "WOOW"

 

And i thought what the hell and ordered my Sony 21" Trinitron Monitor and a Creative GF4 Ti4600 now :x

 

Never been any happier with any other computer 8)

The Intel systems are very snappy indeed, and they take less additional drivers to accomplish optimum performance. Basically, it's a lot less hassle to maintain. You'll appreciate this more and more as you install new software.

I was gonna go ATi but its £70 more and it has problems running some games and also i found out it has problems displaying textures in UT2003

 

I thought id go GF4 and im happy with it.

 

Also they sold out of the 21" Sony Monitors so im waiting to see if they get anymore in and if not im gonna go for a 19" Philips (the worlds smallest CRT monitor with a front to back space requirement 8) )
