Messenjah, do you have any particular attachment to Nvidia? The GTS250 and it's G92b core are pretty closely related to the original G90 that came out in 2007. Its probably the fastest thing Nvida's got in your price range, but if you don't mind shopping other makes you could bump it up to a 1GB ...

Exactly! :) Considering how long it takes XP to format, install, add drivers, grab the updates and then set everything up the way you like, having an image of a clean PC is a massive time saver.

best of all, you've just now made the clean version to image. 8)

The stock heatsink isn't wonderfull, but it's not that bad either. Also, don't buy a heatsink for it's bling factor. There are to many heatsinks out there that perform similarly as a stock heatsink and simply have fancy lights and crazy designs.
