and you shoulda gotten the logitech mx510. same price but owns to the max
At the time I got it the 9800 was still pretty new and about $275. I did a lot of reading and found that the 9800 isn't much better than the 9600 series and not worth the extra money.

I have the MX500 which seems to be the same as the MX510, but without the "extreme" glossy finish.

AMD Athlon64 2500+ @ 1.8ghz 333mhzFSB
Asus KT400 VIA Chipset series

I dunno if you need to know anything else, but I just have no idea what to go with, whether it be pc400 or pc3000. :dunno:
