3D Graphics Budget PC Build

[GuitarFreak1857]

I need to spec out a PC for my job for some employees who work with 3D Modeling programs. Currently they are using some POS hp that can barley handle the program. I don't need a HDD since i would just drop the current one in, and it's running Windows XP 32-bit. Here's what I spec'd out, I am open to suggestions. Comments?

Nothing I can think of changing, it's a good build.

Looks good to me

More RAM would be better, but 32-bit can only work with 3.5GB.

Be sure to use Sysprep to prepare your Windows installation for transfer to its new home.

Well I've been debating whether or not to do 4GB. I was thinking of just doing 3 x 1GB sticks. Which should i do?

Edit: I'm going with this RAM:

Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

hi buddy

Um...nothing to contribute?

OP: That RAM you picked out is pretty nice, and the rest of the build seems pretty solid. Looks like you have a winner.
