Upgrade Questions for a Novice

Make sure the Motherboard supports more RAM (looks like it does up to 3GB of DDR333) I cleaned up my XP install last week (Pentium 4 2.56 with 1 GB Ram) and my boot times seem to be cut in half by uninstalling software I don't use on that machine like iTunes, out of date anti-virus, old MP3...

I want the onboard video processing capabilities of the SB chip to be used for video ripping to a media server. From what I understand that is only available with the H67 chipset.

H67 or P67

Blues Brothers when the car full of Illinois Nazis runs off the end of the overpass and falls for 30 seconds. I think they had to film it in a warmer climate than Chicago because they don't build overpasses like that up there due to freezing. Not to mention it fell for 30 seconds.
