I was looking at the Alpha PAL6035MUC is that a good for what I have:
mobo:Abit BE6 w/ adapter
CPU:intel celeron 466 o/c 525
SC:SB live x-gamer

CD-ROM:52x
CD-RW:Acer 8x4x32x
HD:WD 13.6Gb 7,200RPM UDMA66
intake fan
psu fan
PCI fan
and a 10/100 nic

Either the PAL6035 or the PEP66. It seems the PEP66 will block at least one of your DIMM slots, so keep that in mind. Alpha's are very large. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

how will it block the dimm slot, will it actually hit the slot or will it hit the area where the memory stick should be?

It will not touch anything. It will simply be in the way so you can not install RAM in that slot.

That is tough. I would probably go with the RAM simply because you only have 64MB. The video card you have is still adequate to run most games nowadays, but 64MB's can be eaten up very quickly.

Where did he say he only had 64? I he has 128 then definitely get the GTS2. But, yes, if you only have 64 then get 128.

Overclock it and keep it cold.
