hm - most mobos (I presume mobo= motherboard) have a limited amt of Memory slots (DIMM, I believe I'm looking for) and may want to go to 1024 once I get settled down for upgrading. I'll do what you said about the sound card - seems logical if it is that good. I may save the sound card for later. I will go with lite-on CDRW (tks for that recommendation - by the way, is that a brand name?) and decided to buy from

It has a 350 Watt Power Supply. Also, do you agree about the Video card about getting a good one right now?
Thanks - kram
