    Only way you would use that much memory is if you turned up the detail in games. I don't think you can turn the detail up much anyway with a 2600XT so the 8800GT should be fine.

    Please don't get a P5N-E SLI, they're ass. I had one and didn't like it at all. Get a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R instead.

    The rest of the PC's good.
