So I have been a die hard AMD fan for about 10 years now. Im going to Intel now mainly for the Conroe CPU. So Im puuting together a new rig based on these items..

Board- Asus P5W DH Deluxe
CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
Video- ATI Radeon x1950xtx

Now my current system is this...

Board- MSI K8N Neo Platinum-FSR
CPU- AMD Athlon64 3400+
Video- ATI Radeon x800xl AGP

So I know that im going from a old AGP based machine to a kickin PCIe one. My main problem is I cant decide on what brand, speed, timmings etc. My budget is about $250 for 2gigs. So any help or input on the parts im using and RAM to get would be awsome. Plus I wanna OC it a lil bit as the I keep reading the E6400 is great for it.

OCZ. The OCZ DDR2 800 ATi certified looks great and overclocks like a mother f***er. Mine is 24 hour memtest86 stable at 1066. I would get the 8800GTS though if I were you. You can never go wrong with ASUS.
