Hello, per someone's great advice, im going to build a new system using a Shuttle SN95G5 Rev. 3 sff.

I know theres so many of these posts, and i did try to do some of my own research, but there is so much more new information than when i last built a system its a bit overwhelming.

Sandiego, venice, manchester, toledo, *the latter 2 being x2 processors i think, i'm not really sure what to get.

I plan to do some web content creation, gaming (ffxi), maybe light video editing using an ati AIW, and am concerned with heat and getting a mild overclock.

Similarily, im not sure what ram to get either, i would prefer 2 gig of some low latency ram, but with so many options now im not sure what is quality and what is overpriced.

Some quick answers would be greatly appreciated as school is starting up soon ; ;
 
corsair or mushkin have good 2gb stuff...some like the OCZ too

I wouldn't go with dual core but if you have the money get the 4400+
otherwise 4000+
