jojo, what has your experience with long term stability been like? I see you were using Firestix-R. I was using 8G Corsair Voyager GT on a system that received daily light duty work.

My $0.02 ... I built a similar system in an SG01. CPU was an AMD64 3200+ in an nvidia 6150 based mb. I used a Thermalright XP-120 instead of the XP-90.
