2 motherboard choices...help

i have narrowed it down to two motherboard bundles for my first build, but im having trouble deciding. One is a Intel D945PSNLK Intel Socket 775 ATX Motherboard which comes with an Intel Pentium 4 524 3.06GHz Processor. The other one is an Intel D945PSNLK Intel Socket 775 ATX Motherboard with an Intel Pentium 4 506 2.66 GHz Processor & a 512MB DDR2 PC4200 Memory.

So one comes with memory, with a slightly lesser processor, and the other is a tiny bit more expensive and has a slightly better processor....im short on money, only have about 270 bucks left.....can someone help me decide? what would you choose? links to each below.....

choice one
choice two

thanks alot

First off, always check an eTailer out at www.resellerratings.com before making a purchase. I think you'll be very disappointed with TigerDirect. Check out www.newegg.com!
So, does your $270 budget include memory or just mobo and CPU? Intel mobos are solid as a rock stable but very little OCing capability, if any.

Never bought from TigerDirect because of their bad rating . . .
If you're limited by your budget, get the package that includes the RAM.
