build box for 3 platforms

Hi everyone.

I am a developer who is not commited to any particular platform though I like Unix best. This will be the seventh machine I have built, I want my new one to be able to run Windows XP, Tiger on the Mac and Unix. Not asking for too much really.... This is the kit I am thinking of putting together,

ECS KN1 SLI Motherboard Skt 939 nForce4 SLI 2000FSB DDR400 Sound LAN ATX
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0GHz Microprocessor - Venice core, HyperTransportTM technology, SSE3, 512K Cache
1GB DDR 400 MHZ
HDD 160GB, Samsung, SerialATA, 7200, 8192k
GeForce 6600LE SLI Ready Video Card, 256MB,128bit, PCI Express
ATX 350W case + powerSupply 350W
NEC Black DVDRW

Do people think this will work? Obviously budget is an issue. If I could make some savings without sacrificing too much in overall performance, that would be a bonus.

I am shortly to become a dad so i shall be on the hunt for the coolest stuff for ultra newbies! Tips please!

NAME
mac - calculate message authentication codes of the input SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/mac -l | [-v] -a algorithm [-k keyfile] [file...] DESCRIPTION
The mac utility calculates the message authentication code (MAC) of the given file or files or stdin using the algorithm specified. If more than one file is given, each line of output is the MAC of a single file. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a algorithm Specifies the name of the algorithm to use during the encryption or decryption process. See USAGE, Algorithms for details. Note: Algorithms for producing general length MACs are not supported. -k keyfile Specifies the file containing the key value for the encryption algorithm. Each algorithm has specific key material require- ments, as stated in the PKCS#11 specification. If -k is not specified, mac prompts for key material using get- passphrase(3C). For information on generating a key file, see dd(1M) or System Administration Guide: Security Services. -l Displays the list of algorithms available on the system. This list can change depending on the configuration of the crypto- graphic framework. The keysizes are displayed in bits. -v Provides verbose information. USAGE
Algorithms The supported algorithms are displayed with the -l option. These algorithms are provided by the cryptographic framework. Each supported algorithm is an alias to the most commonly used and least restricted version of a particular algorithm type. For example, md5_hmac is an alias to CKM_MD5_HMAC. These aliases are used with the -a option and are case-sensitive. Passphrase When the -k option is not used during encryption and decryption tasks, the user is prompted for a passphrase. The passphrase is manipulated into a more secure key using the PBKDF2 algorithm specified in PKCS #5. EXAMPLES
