Re: New System spec advice
PC8500 is overkill unless overclocking. FSB of the E8*** is 333MHZ x 4 = 1333MHZ.
Ram @ standard is therefore 2 x 333MHZ = 667MHZ (both using "computer maths" that is).
2GB of PC6400 (400MHZ) ram is approx £30 - so you can buy twice as much!
Re: New System spec advice
Brilliant Thank-you! I think I'll stick with 2Gb and save a few pennies for the moment!
Intel Core 2 E8200, £117.29
Asus P5K, iP35, £73.78
512MB Asus 9600GT £112.78
2GB Corsair TwinX DDR2 PC2-6400, £38.76
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro £15.26
Total £374.86
Thanks!

You might also like to look out for the Abit Darkraider `board often seen on Scan/todayonly for £58-60. Good `board & lots of features and saves you a bit more.
