    Building my first ever comp with a SATA drive..

    Ahh, ok thanks mate. So I hit F6 during install and just follow the steps and I will be right? Also, when my brother installed his SATA drive, there is a small icon on the bottom right of screen that says it is a removable item or something. Its like when you have a USB in your comp (eg: you...

    Building my first ever comp with a SATA drive..

    I'll have a look for those, but I think they will be hard to find here. I found these: DDR2 Ram G.SKILL 2GB Kit (2x1024MB) F2-6400PHU2-2GBZX 4-4-4-12 (Intel only) for USD$208 (keep in mind that the prices here are more than over there) What about these?

    Help me choose some ram for my build

    Thanks for the reply. I'm living in Australia so those prices are from Australian stores in Australian Dollars. So if I'm not overclocking at all should I buy the cheapest 4-4-4-12 that I can get from here from a respected brand? If i'm not overclocking would there be much difference...
