new build

Well I am down to getting a good 56K modem for dialup and a good memory. I had selected the Corsair Value select 1GB (2x512Mb) but not sure if I will need that much for this system.
 
If you can afford the 1GB, then by all means get it. If you just want the bare minimum, don't go any less than 512MB. I recommend keeping the 1GB. It comes in handy when you doing a lot on your computer.

As far as the modem goes, get something cheap like this:

U.S. Robotics USR263090 56Kbps PCI Bus (Plug and Play) Internal Modem
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16825104141

They're pretty good. It's dial up technology so there's really nothing you can do to improve connectivity.
 
I am going to stay with the 512Mb ram as this will be a Christmas gift for my grand daughter I am hoping everything is compatible as far as pins and such.Sure don't want to order everything and find out something doesn't fit and have to wait on the gift.Thanks everyone for the help.
