additionally-- futureproofing is about the only reason I've chosen to upgrade to the T7200 (2.00GHZ, 4MB L2 Cache, 667 Mhz FSB) and the ram (to match the faster FSB) from the T5300 Core 2 Duo (1.73GHZ, 2 MB L2 Cache, 533 FSB). The difference is about 200 bucks for the faster chip/ram. Any advice on whether i'll ever notice the difference, now or 2 years from now?

I'm no expert but my sense is this is overkill for a mainly poker-only computer. I think you shoud at least consider saving a few hundred by going with the base processor, memory and hard drive. Also consider having it built with XP instead of Vista.
