Any suggestions or comments?

I like Maxtor drives, but you are aware that they were just purchased by
Seagate. I'm also assuming it's a SATA drive.

Corsair is good memory, but be aware that matching memory, and timings, to
a motherboard is becoming a pain. You may want to look here, if you
haven't already.

I'd also point out that Windows and 64 bit computing can be somewhat
problematic.

FWIW, I've been using a true 64 bit system, Debian Linux, for over a year
without *any* problems. You might want to consider coming over to the
dark side. ;-)

ones should taste like blueberries and the light green ones should
taste like...hmmmm - monkey puke...they look like monkey puke they
should taste like monkey puke.

God, I love liverwurst and onion and mayo sammiches. But not for breakfast,
unless on toast.
