Final Review
I first must say a big "thank-you" to everyone for their input, not just on my build but on all the others. The advice I gleaned from the other posts has led me here...

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 Dual Core Processor LGA775 2.5GHZ 800FSB 2MB Retail Box

What do y'all think?
And if I'm going Vista should I shell out the extra $$ and get the Home Premium? I.e. is it worth it?Thanks in advance!
