I don't know 'bout the RAM -- if you're buying it new, I'd go ahead and get
DDR. Looks to be $10 more expensive than a stick of PC100, at least on
newegg.com. If you've got the PC100 already, might as well give it a try. I
don't see it making much of a difference, really..
The gf2mx will work just dandy. I was using one (without a tv-out) before I
got the gf4.
