Wow! Great rig you got there!
Are you planning on overclocking it? And what project(s) are you gonna get it on?

is the lightscribe where you burn both sides of the disk. data as usual and an image from above? have you tried it yet? is it good or just a gimmick?
excellent processor i bet it really flies.
memory sounds good, is there much real speed difference between DDR standard and DDR2?
possibly beer and twiight could benchmark on something to see what the memory differences actually are :D seeing as the machines are identical.

Lightscribe is where you can burn a picture to the top of the cd, or label it... for ex. Beerknurds photos. I haven't tried it yet... It requires special dvd's.

I got a lightscribe drive (on my old one, my dad took it away, lol). I was supposed to get those lightscribe DVDs for free but they ran out. My parents got a rain check but it took too long so they just took the money.
For a sample picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightScribe
