Hi there
I am currently in the closing stages of purchasing components for a computer which I am building.
Noo Noo had recommended a software called Antemedia Bandwith Manager (http://www.antamedia.com/bandwidth-manager/) and none of my crash boxes seemed worthy of the task.
It was the results of my looking to control my traffic volume based on ip http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?t=82619

I have fallen away from current technical advances and spoke to a local computer store on what he would recommend for components.
I told him I was looking for an all in one motherboard to save money, that was going to be a workhorse.
Hi end video, sound etc were unimportant. (The reason for the expensive Antec Sonata lll is because I have muscle weakness and bad manual dexterity. The drives look like they would be easier to work with)
His recommendations are:
MOTHERBOARD
Asus M3A78-EM AMD780G+ATISB700 2PCI/1PCI-E 16X,4D.DDR2. SATA2
CPU
AMD A645600+ AM2 X2 BOX (2.9 GHZ, 1MB CACHE)
RAM
KINGSTON 2GIG 800 MHZ DDR2 NON ECC CL5 DIMM (1 STICK) KVR800D2N5/2G
CASE
ANTEC SONATA III WITH 500 WATT POWER SUPPLY
HARDDRIVE
SEAGATE 500GIG 16 MB CACHE 7200 SATA
DVD BURNER
LG GH22NS30 SATA 22X/22XDVD-RW

I have some hesitations on the motherboard and hardrive.
I am worried about so few PCI/PCI-E slots as well as the fact it is an AMD.
I price checked on the Seagate and I can get a Western Digital 500gig Sata2 , from another supplier, for the same money (WD5000aaks) I believe the cache on that one is 32 mb.

Another question that seems to have come up:
Will I be able to install my Windows XP Professional (32bit) operating system on this 64 bit motherboard? Will it run fine?
Does windows have a limitation running more than (approx) 3.2 gig's of ram? I have been told not to load more that 2 sticks of 2 gig ram.
If I haven't asked an obvious question concerning this setup please step forward and point it out.
Thanks for your time
