I have read up about RAM, and am going to buy some more for my computer (currently running 1gig ddr2 533) but I am not sure of the speed differences between 533 and 667. Is it really big, or barely noticable? And which would be better - one gig of 667 or 2 of 533 (I am on a limited budget, so I can only afford one or the other)? Thanks very much.

I think you would benefit more from 2GB of 533
I found these 2 (might as well leave room for a later upgrade)

I'm leaning toward the Foxconn, but what's your opinion?
Which would you recommend? And a quick noobish question, if it has 4 rear panel USB ports and 6 onboard USB connectors, does that mean I could hook up my two case USB ports and get a USB card with four ports, and use that?

But ok, I'll do that. Any ideas for the mobo?

dont forget people, you need to look at timings too!! ddr667 @ 3-4-4-8 would be much better than ddr533 @ the same timings!
either way, ddr533 is fine for now, just get two gigs of it... depending on the timings it should provide plenty of speed.
