Are these good or should i get something else? If you have any suggestions that'd be cool. Thanks.

I'd suggest you not get that memory. I've never even seen ram timings that were that slow. You should invest in a good stick xms corsair insted of that mushkin crap. (1 high quality stick of 512 is better than 2 extremely slow 512mb sticks.)

I got two sticks of 256 corsair XMS and trust me is way better than muskin. He's right, can't go wrong with Corsair *XMS*

VIA KT600 was nice, but nVidia's n-Force-2 really became a flag-ship chipset for AMD AthlonXP platform. so i'll suggest that one.

although VIA isnt bad, as it has really shown performance in 64 bit platform with its K8T800-PRO chipset.
