Take the links out. Not allowed to link to competitors.

Do you need Memory as well?

I'd remove those links as quickly as possible, linking to competitors is not allowed on these forums.

Edit: ^Beat me to it.

If you go for Alex spec you will need to upgrade your memory to DDR2 since it only supports DDR2 Memory.
