Thanks guys!
I obviously need to do a little more research, before buying my motherboard
and memory. I need more info on the most appropriate DDR memory and
motherboard.

My existing memory is 2 x Kingston 512MB DDR and a FIC P4M-800T
motherboard. The memory failed and I fried the motherboard while fixing the
problem, by fixing the DDR in back to front, and damaging a capacitor.

 Any pointers to websites, mags or books which may help?
