Your entire system cost $1400? I'm sorry, but the price / spec just does not add up !
I've just had a quick look at my local PC store, www.overclockers.co.uk I know the exchange rate, but I don't believe your price / spec I'm afraid.

Before you include a case, or any other bits & bobs, what about Hard drives on such a beast of a PC? or, did you forget them?

Crazy spec PC for stupid money, in my view! I'd love you to prove me wrong, I'll happily buy one myself for that price!

Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean by 533Mhz RAM, but, if you mean something like PC4000 or, 4400 RAM, then your wasting your money using it with an 800FSB Pentium 4, unless you overclock it , PC 4400RAM and a good cooler should see 4Ghz from that CPU without too much hassle!
8)

Sadly, having said that, $235 for 4 x 1024 MB? I'd be surprised if it is high speed "special" RAM , more like, for that money, the cheap and nasty stuff, highly unsuitable for overclocking.....
Normally, if your looking for high speed RAM to overclock, you'd easily expect to pay $235 for 1 GB not 4 !

My Local PC store has this stuff....

Very fast RAM, but, for one hell of a price! Wink

I'd buy neither, save yourself a fortune, build your own.... This has been discussed here before chaps if you bother to browse back a page or so.... Wink
