Thanks for the replies. Just to qualify a bit more, I'd like to order everything from newegg and will be doing so as soon as I settle on the components. I'll be using Windows 7 pro 64 bit (thanks for the heads up). Thanks for the Xeon suggestion, looks like a much better option for what I...

I understand the added price of the deluxe may be and issue but I can tell you it is a great board. I've had mine now for about a month and have no issues period. Installed windows and drivers and have never looked back. Spend the extra thirty bucks and enjoy! rb56

Thanks it's been almost 3 years to the day that I ordered the one I'm using now so I'm looking forward to "retiring" the old 2.8 P4 and it's been about a year since I've built a system so I'm looking forward to it! Hope I can remember where the video card and memory goes. ;) rb56

Pentax *ist DSLR for $367AR

All the ones in Yellowstone and the Tetons were shot in auto modes, then tweeked in Photoshop. I think that for 95% of my needs auto would be just. Most of the shots are taken with the 18-55mm/F3.5 lens. There may be a couple taken with a 50-200mm/F4. rb56
