1st build looks decent but you didnt post processor speeds, or memory size.    Also why Win 7 32 and not 64 bit?    You really want to run 32 bit to take full advantage of your system, especially to go above 3.25 gig in memory.

Windows 7 keys are good for the 32bit or the 64 bit version.  So check around with friends see if anyone has a 64 bit disk you can borrow an install 64 for sure.

Yeah there is no reason not to go 64 bit these days. Also with the current prices for DDR3 memory your should max out your MTB's memory for sure.  8)
