Check my spec

[soundwave]

Hey guys,

Following on from my other thread HERE I think I have pretty much settled myself on the following spec for my Media Centre & just wanted your opinions before I part with the readdies

NOTE - not all parts are available on here so I've left prices off for obvious reasons

Case - Aspire X-Qpack with 420w PSU
Mobo - Asus M2NPV-VM AMD (Onboard Geforce 6150 GFX)
CPU - AMD AM2 Dual Core 4200+
Cooler - Artic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 400GB
SoundCard - Terratec Aureon 7.1 with Optical Out
DVD - Lite On LH-20A1P DL Combo

Only thing I havent decided on yet is the Ram.
I'm after 2GB but at the moment there are SO many good deals on here I dont know what to go for, I've sort of narrowed it down to either...

Corasir 2GB @ £70.49
G Skill 2GB @ £64.41
Geil 2GB @ £58.74

I wont be overclocking or anything like that so I'm tempted to go for the Geil just because it's cheaper but is it ok for the system??

Is that ok or are there any other changes you'd make??

Finally what OS should I get??

Seems like OCUK have stopped selling Windows Media Centre
Is VISTA ok?? If so which one 32 or 64bit??

Thanks in advance for any advice

Neil

Go for OCUK Value if you aint overclocking.

Go for OCUK Value if you aint overclocking.

Thats actually the same price as the Geil 2GB kit I linked to above is there any reason why I should by the OCUK Ram over the Geil???

Thanks anyway for the input.
