Get a P4 2.4C and an IC7-G (not Max3, those are $200+) you can OC that to like 3.2-3.4 and best of all you'll have Intel...I'd have Intel if I had the money.

Go learn HTML. It's damn simple, just find a tutorial online or a book if you want. Or better yet, go on Yahoo! GeoCities, use the Advanced Editor, and it has the basic layout and stuff and a pretty good FAQ. Once you learn HTML decently you can go on to PHP, and then you'll kick ***.

Or get Frontpage. With frontpage I think you'd be making better, more complex webpages faster. You dont need to know any HTML, you just type what you want to be on the page, on the page. its got what the website looks like infront of you, then you just edit it. Its got hover buttons, marquee's, and tons of stuff built into it. PM me if your interested.

Yes but with Frontpage you'll never be able to do anything serious...just stuck with simple crap and messy code.

..unless you're playing at 1600x1200 (or higher) with antialiasing.
It won't hurt to have a lot of memory. Applications, operating systems and games (well I could have said just software) will get bigger in the future, I don't think it'll be long when 1 GB is minimum requirement for most games. Do you remember when you had a computer with 3583 bytes of memory for BASIC apps? I do. I still have it, and a 16 kB expansion module for it.

I dont think it will be 1GB for a bit. Pretty sure there hasnt been a game yet with 512MB RAM as a requirment. Almost all are 256 however.
You can always add RAM later, when you may need it. Whats the point in buying it now when it costs twice as much for 1GB as it does 512MBs.
You may never even use more then 512MBs in the first place. Whenever I check how much RAM I have free its at least 100MBs. I will have a few Internet Explorer windows open, Photoshop, and Warcraft3, and never use more then 400MBs of RAM. Right now I have several background progies running, 5 IE windows, AIM and MSN messegner running and Im using (approx.) 287MBs. So it is nice to have more than 256MBs of RAM, however I dont think 1GB is really worth your money right now.

DooM 3 and HL2 probably need 512...and you know technology doubles every 18 months, so it's quite possible that 1gig would be a requirement soon.

If you decide on getting 1GB of RAM, I'd suggestion buying them as paired RAM, that way they were tested together and are designed to operate well together.
Not that memory of different brands can't operate well together... just that it's like mixing an Energizer and a Duracel in a CD player... you just ain't supposed to.

There have been a few games out that *recommend* 512MB, but have minimum requirements that are much less (256MB). Can't remember off hand what games these were, but I do remember reading the specs on the boxes. I'd be happier with 1GB of memory, but 512MB is certainly adequate. Matched pairs will mean that both modules will overclock by about the same amount, so you won't have one duff module setting your limit.

Matched pairs are just designed to work the best together as they possibly can...I'd recommend an OCZ Platinum dual-channel kit, simply because it's the best
As from my name you can tell im a Map Maker, but I make mazes, as in the Maze of Skill series? I need some help, if anyone knows how to make Chances in the game, id apretiate it if you'd tell me on this post, Thanks!
