And how about this memory...

Corsair XMS2 DHX 4096MB Dual Channel PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (2 x 2048MB)

cohen

yes that is fine

difference between 1GB and 512MB is speed. like ram just on a video card.

ok, so (1) 1GB card is the same as (2) 512mb cards that are the same?

cohen

for a video card i would go either for the 512MB but if budget it no question go for the 1GB

What do I need to know to make these two hard drives and 2 video cards run smoothly? Anything?


Thanks again guys! Anything that you think you need to mention would help!

Respital

Nope then should run smoothly.
No problem.
The only thing i would switch is the case to the antec 900...
But then again it is personal preference.. unless you want a COLD case

Hope this helps.

Great!

Another question..

Do I need to buy a sound card with this mb? Also..I want the capibility to use both wireless and ethernet networking. I have a wireless usb adapter already, so if I just buy an ethernet adapter, that will cover the cabled connection..but will my usb wireless adapter plug and play?

Respital

No a sound card is not required.
This motherboard has a ethernet port on it so no worries.
It should plug in and play if it doesn't check out the manufacturers website for some drivers.

Hops this helps.
