Took the plunge and bought an SK41 to have a play with. Heres the proposed spec...

XP2400+
120gig Seagate HDD
Sony CRX300E combo drive (like the one i have 'cause its quiet!) and a Coolermaster alloy bezel
9600XT
512meg Crucial PC2100

...am i likely to have any RAM related problems?, or should i be okay with branded stuff?. Any other general hints and tips?.
