I think I over the 'I have to have CL4' phase...The only thing CL4 is going to do for me is benchmark higher and a few more FPS in games...I think I would settle for a good set of stable RAM with some head-room for an OC. I'm thinking of starting with 4GB and then go 8GB when they come down in...

Any opinions on these? 8GB would be sexy....(Vista 64bit Ultimate) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820231145 Model Brand G.SKILL Model F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ Type 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Tech Spec Capacity 4GB(2 x 2GB) Speed DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Cas Latency 5...

Very good information here...I have a tendancy to go way overboard when buying things. I have the $$, so I don't mind spending the $$ to get what I want and not what I really 'need'. For instance I wanted a car that got 30MPH and I purchase a vette two summers ago...It gets 30PMH in 6th gear...

My PCs are for gaming. I would like to run my games at 1680X1050 without having to go with low settings. I was thinking of going with 8800 GTX now and another in a few months. Concerning the EVGA A1, would I get a better OC off one of the non-SLI P35 boards? Out of the "The Abit IP-35Pro...

Does anyone know of a RAM compatibilty list for the Asus Striker Extreme? (cant' find one)

I have money to burn AND I have a 1.5TB NAS amd about 500GB on other systems. I'm going for speed here. I will stick with the Raptor. Thanks fro the opinion. Good advice. I have a 24" Sony CRT and a 22" HP W2207. I'm currently using the 22" as my main. I read that the latest BIOS for...

My 3700+ Sandiego has been running at 2750 air-cooled since day one. I would suggest purchasing the cheaper CPU and then OC it. I look at the stock rating of some of these chips and I'm amazed what a 550mhz OC will do for performance.

Highway robbery. I would rather order from the net and wait a few days. But that's just me. ;)

Too bad it's an MSI and not BFG or eVGA...

Do you want your 3 seconds back?

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but most up and coming internet store like Newegg and Monarch start out with amazing prices an superb service. This is done to establish their name. Although Newegg is still my 'go to' store, I have noticed a decline in these types of deals. Newegg...

DELL customer phone reps are VERY nice to their customers, BUT they have no power and most are phone-drones. They are extremely scripted and lack the power to make decisions. This is why you will wait on hold for countless minutes while they speak to their superiors. I don't know why, but...

Recieved an Order Delay notice from DELL. Canceled my order. Remind me never to purchase a non DELL item from DELL ever again. :mad: My frustration level is very high right now....

Ship date is today. 14 days after it was ordered. Will cancel tomorrow. Crossing fingers though, I hate waiting for nothing.
