but those ahem version need my xp to be updated....but my xp also ahem lol...well thanks for ur info it helps alot

do u really need that corshair 800mhz ram? well i think 3800 or 3600 can enuf to do the job here...just my 2cent

yea thats wat i have in mind....if u duwan to save cpu then is better to save for ram....from 667 to 800 din have much different...also if u wan better ram i prefer u get crucial which is more better then corshair xms for ddr2 800mhz....well overrall with a 667mhz value ram i think is good for ur htpc...as for mobo i duno abt gigabyte but i currently keep my eyes on asus M2A-VM HDMI i think is more cheaper abit then gigabyte but hey as for mobo u can go for ur choise...this just my 2cent...correct me if i am wrong pls
