new biuld

I'm doing a new biuld for a friend and just wanted to check some stuff.

mobo:ASUS M2N4-SLI 94.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131068

Ram: OCZ S.O.E 512MB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM(x2) 129.98

I used that motherboard and ram combo in a biuld with a single core 3500+ and only 1stick of ram a couple of weeks ago and had no trouble so im using it again but wanted to make sure the x2 would work with it.

If you want SLI, get the AMD or wait for the new chipset for Intel. I'd get the C2D and a single slot Intel chipset board myself.

Fine but go with Corsair XMS RAM, Liteon DVD burner, Seagate 7200.10 hard drive, and a Fortron Source power supply.
