over 3 gigs doesnt matter unless you run 64 bit windows, and then half your games wont work :-/


now, if you do build it yourself, its cheaper to just buy 4 gigs (2X 2X 1gig sets, or 1X 2X 2gig set)

and then it MIGHT show as 3.3 GB or so


you can get a 2 gb (2 1 gig sticks) set for $25 if you wait for the deals on newegg

its really not all that hard, you just basically have to get components that work together and put em together

like a motherboard usually has a memory standard, and it will have an pci Express X16 for GFX and a certain socket type for the processor

etc, its not hard once you know

It's also important to take into account what you intend to do with it now, and in the future, and how long you want the computer to laptop.

In short, processor selection is important.

RAM-wise, If you're gonna be running Vista, 3GB minimum I'd say, if 64 bit, I'd say go with 5GB.

Try dual video cards, it'll last you alot longer than just one in terms of upgrades. Of course if you're not going to be gaming, then it really doesn't matter that much.

Make sure everything is well cooled. Dual cards heat up quickly.

Sound cards aren't as important, I mean, they're important, but the selection really doesn't matter unless you use alot of music making/editing software.

Monitor selection, is surprisingly, important. You don't want to have spiffy hardware, and then be bogged down by a crappy monitor.

Quite possibly the most important part is the casing. Sure you could use one from your older comptuers, but where's the joy in that?
