it's ok..... 
but with little ram, you cant reap the benifits of the rest of your specs. |

go for the 2500+ Barton (you save about $30 and it's a better chip and you can overclock it to 2.5ghz - which would make it better than any stock chip on the market right now, I can explain why this is true if someone doesn't get it...)
and get 512mb of RAM instead... even if it means you have to get 2700 instead of 3200 |

the reason i went for the TBRED instead of the barton is cus it was only $10 more but alot faster (Barton 2500+ = 1.83GHz, TBRED 2600+ = 2.13GHz)
and im not too worried about the monitor since ive got a 17" already and thats enuf for me rite now but i will take into consideration the RAM upgrade
btw one question, if i wer to use a fan that was made for a P4 on this AMD system would it make that much of a difference in cooling or no? |

| no the fan's good enough, but what you should consider is to overclock your 2600, its very overclockable, ppl have got it running at 3 gig with no prob and only one more fan, but water cooling is very good too or you can get liquid nitrogen |
