They are all NForce 2 chipsets- pick the board that has the features you
want. The AN7 has good onboard sound (SoundStorm). I built a system on that
and am pleased with it.

Memory: All of your choices make a line of quality memory....I would stay
away from the "Value" lines. Get the best you can afford (check out the
Mushkin Level 1). Minimum of 512MB...a GB wouldn't be wasted. Two sticks
(i.e. 2 X 256 MB) to use the dual channel capability of the NForce 2.

OCZ,

Since this newsgroup is about helping people, I'll respond to your
post.....slowly, so you can comprehend it this time.

I said, " A m i n i m um (indicating what would be the least acceptable
amount of memory) o f f i v e h u n d r e d a n d t w e l v e m e g a
b y t e s (abbreviated MB).... a g i g a b y t e (actually 1024 megabytes,
ok?) w o u l d n ' t ( contraction for WOULD NOT) be
w a s t e d (the intent here was to convey that a gigabyte of memory would
be a GOOD thing).

OK, got it?...or should we review further?

Fitz

you might want to re-read his post. He said it *wouldn't* be wasted.
