The only reason I selected the single core processor option above, washttp://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=59753&highlight=world+r
to give your 3000+ a "run for the money". In some situations, the lower
speed dual core processors might not be as impressive. It really
depends on what you'd be doing with the machine. If you get bored,
you can always try overclocking it. At stock, the single core 3800+
Orleans runs at 2.4GHz, and they got 3.1GHz for an Orleans, in this list.
For memory, try to use a dual channel config (i.e. 2x512MB if you are
on a budget).

Thanks, Paul......that went straight to the printer! The reason I'm
considering this, is becasue I haven't yet activated XP, and it costs more
than the hardware now!
Will this thing boot from my sata without drivers? The MSI wouldn't...
You mean the 690G/SB600 ? No idea. It is an ATI chipset. That is all
I know about it so far. At this point, it is "concept of the week",
and I don't know how happy people are with it.

I built a PC with the M2A-VM HDMI mobo, ATI690G, a month or so ago. I had
to use the drivers from the mobo's CD, but at the time I didn't have a
bootable XP Pro SP2 CD (and the XP is, well, um...!).
So far, the rig is running well and cool - only 45W at idle with Cool 'n'
Quiet enabled.
