Hi. We?re getting closer on this. More great PMs and feedback. This should be one great system. Memory and video cards are now solid. MOBO is a little up in the air though.
What to take another shot at it? I appreciate your advice!

Many thanks to everyone, including a great fellow who sent me a PM. This is a joint effort, and the configuration reflects your great suggestions and advice.
Here?s the latest configuration. I?d like to finalize and order by Thursday. Please take a look, especially the questions.
Thanks,
Dan.

Memory ? (4) 1Gb Corsair memory sticks. Either the ?Dominator 2GB 1066 (PC2 8500)? (PN: TWIN2X2048-8500C5D) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145043 or the ?DOMINATOR 2GB 800 (PC2 6400)? (PN: TWIN2X2048-6400C4D). I?m not sure which is appropriate, but both have $40 off rebate (ends Saturday 6/30). Suggestions on this?
Motherboard ? (1) Asus P5W64: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131047. Andy sold me on this guy. Very fast, flexible, full featured, and FOUR PCI-E slots. Great expandability. This is the one! ;-)

Will four of these guys fit into an Asus P5W64 MOBO?
