There's a lot of crappy PC3200 flying around now. Save yourself a headache and stick with a name brand (Kingston, Crucial, PNY, etc.).

A 20GB 5400rpm hard drive? Why you going so low end? It's almost a waste to buy that hard drive to use with a 2.8Ghz 800FSB processor based system...Get the 60GB 7200rpm HD from Seagate or Hitachi...

Other than faster load time? What lol. That's the biggest and best and most important advantage! In my opinion if you order a fast a$$ processor like a 2.8Ghz with 800FSB and you have a 4200 or 5400 rpm hard drive behind it your basically creating a bottleneck for data transfer...totally not using the processor to it's fullest potential because you're processor is waiting for the hard drive to transfer data.
