New Shuttle based system - where to invest CPU, memory, XPC version?

[growe]

I've decided on a P4 based shuttle system with 1GB RAM. With the budget that I have I need to make trade off decisions over CPU speed, memory speed and which Shuttle XPC variant (SB51G or SB61G2).

So P4 FSB 533 vs FSB 800?
DDR 333 vs DDR 400?
SB51G vs SB61G2?

For the budget I have the likely options seem to be:

opt1: SB51G, P4 2.6 533FSB, 1 GIG DDR 333
opt2: SB51G, P4 2.8 533FSB, 1 GIG DDR 333
opt3: SB61G2, P4 2.6 533FSB, 1 GIG DDR 333
opt4: SB61G2, P4 2.8 533FSB, 1 GIG DDR 333
opt5: SB61G2, P4 2.4 800FSB, 1 GIG DDR 400
opt6: SB61G2, P4 2.6 800FSB, 1 GIG DDR 400

opt 6 is really over my budget so do I compromise on the memory, the CPU or the XPC or find the extra cash!

Thanks,
Graham

well if you can't "come big or stay home " i would say get i would get the sb61g2 and a 2.4 800 fsb . this way atleast you have the ablility to get a faster chip and pop it in .
