I would do a clean OS install once you have the new components in place. The change of a motherboard is usually severe enough that the OS will fart out on you.
I need to build a new gaming box as well. Where did you order your stuff from?
Also, when I built my last system, the place I got my memory from recommended getting a single 512 vs 2 256 ones. The crosstalk from the two sticks would kick them both down to a slower rate. I think this was ddr400. Is this not an issue anymore?

Subject: New computer parts!
So...I got new computer parts in today.
I'll be performing the upgrade this afternoon.
Its been..about four years since my last upgrade. I'm going to try to
fit this all into my old case that had an Athlon Thunderbird 1.2Ghz
processor/MB combo before.
I'm installing : MSI K8T Neo motherboard.
AThlon 64 3.2Ghz processor.
OCZ Dual whatever PC3200 RAM, two 256 DIMMS.
Keeping three hard disks, CDRW, modem , network card, and Ti4400
Graphics card.
Anything I should look out for? I'm a bit nervous.
The system also currently has Windows 2K on it. I want to upgrade that
to Windows XP. Should I do this before, or after the new hardware is
installed?
