    RAM question

    Sorry, misread your post :) Tough question to answer as Dual Channel increases memory bandwidth but it's also more memory chips for the OS to address. Run all three sticks. Larger quantities of slower RAM is better than lower quantities of faster RAM.

    Buying a PCI graphics card

    The best you going to hope for is an FX5500 PCI. Apart from that is the [already mentioned] FX5200 and the Radeon 9250 thses days. If your integrated Intel can do XGL, i'm sure the FX5500 can too :) As for comparison, there is not much to be done. Being faster, more advanced and with it's DX9...

    New Computer I'm Going To Make.
