I'll look at directcanada a bit later today aswell.

P31-DS3L - 4GB support RAM max.

P35-DS3L - 8GB RAM support max.

Not really big difference... but the price, yup. I'd get the 4GB one. You'd only need 4GB for the next few years...

Ah thanks, but yeah, the P31 will do fine. No need to spend that extra money for RAM space that I'll never fill.

Well next year or so you might need 4GB, but sooner or later, you'll need an new rig altogether, so why spend more on something your not going to need?

P31's an good choice.

honestly i would wait until you've read up on building a PC a little more, if you were about to order an AMD mobo with an intel chip... things are more than likely going to go sour during installation. either hold off until you are a little more confident building it, or have someone who knows PCs there when you do it

That is why I'm here; I'm checking with other people to fill in/fix any problems that may arise from my lack of knowledge.

I've been told that XP Home doesn't recognize dual core processors, yet I've also heard that it will with SP2. Can anyone confirm either of these?
