    $887.68 shipped to my door for the following configuration, what do you think? I am thinking now that maybe I should have gotten the 80 gig HD instead of the 100 gig and used the $60 difference for more ram or more processor speed. Anyways, I am going to add ram as soon as I get it. What type of ram does this system use? Does the 533mHz front side bus system, which this is, use a different ram than the 400mHz FSB systems? Any comments on my configuration ae appreciated as well.
