you also might look at the Asus P4P800. It has comparable specs to the Intel board (I think expect for firewire) for a comparable price. Asus has a proven record for stability, performance & tweakability. Intel keeps their Boards pretty average.

You are correct; the post should have said two sticks. The pricing did reflect 1/2 a gig of ram. 512 is the min. amount for an WinXP system that is going to do more than word process.
