Hey Amitash,TopGear and Ashu,

Firstly thank you all for your prompt responses and advice.
The only reason I am more keen on getting the latest stuff..for eg DDR 3 and not DDR2 is because I know how expensive outdated components tend to get.
This might seem a trivial thing but I intend to use this machine at least for a couple of years so, was thinking of getting the latest stuff as far as my budget permits.I don't really understand much of hardware combinations so I'm open to getting an older part if you guys see more sense in doing that.

Amitash,I went through the review of that processor and it seems super nice..I'll be looking into that.

hehe...Topgear,what you said has mostly gone way above my head so I'm going to clarify...what I basically understood is Intel Proc = DDR 2 and DDR3 for AMD Procs?Has it got something to do with compatibility or performance?

Thanks again..looking forward to hearing from you guys soon..!
