Yeah, I know there were LOTS of cheaper options for memory, which is one reason why I've waited as long as I have to get better memory. I basically decided I felt like splurging, as my cashflow has been much better than its ever been (just hired full time from college graduation). Sometimes...

I am tempted. Im waiting for my 2 gigs of Dominator to come in the mail, but already am curious about even more. From what little Ive read on newegg and here, it seems Dominator is some of the fastest 'stock' ram, albeit expensive. I have not overclocked cpu or ram before, which is one reason...

The file that caused the most drain was 13.5" x 30.75" 300 DPI in CMYK. There are many layers with layer masks. The file is 673 MB. I posted the cpu program files on a scratch webpage I have: http://www.potomacgraphics.com/pics.htm Also, this is the ram I just bought Saturday...

Ok thanks. So far Im not doing any 3d modeling, just 2D, like brochures, posters, etc. I think I'll hold off a little while longer for the graphics card then, so I can get a 'refresh' Nvidia after ATI launches their upcoming contender. Guess my wallet's safe for now.

quick question. I have been working with very large image files in Adobe Photoshop (6.0) and my computer has been quite sluggish. It is a new computer with 1GB corsair ram, 2 WD 150GB raptors in raid 0 and EVGA 7300GT video card. I have just bought more ram, (2gb XMS Dominator) but am...

Just tried this on my dell 2007. Took all of 5 seconds. Its VERY tall to my eyes. Im planning on getting the new dell 30" in a few months. This will pair nicely as a dedicated FOOBAR playlist editor holder, or task bars and such in photoshop ;)

I suggest avoiding the impending upgrade sessions so many fall victim too. Just splurge 300$ on ebay and get Sennheiser HD650. Most comfy, best sound, most reliable. You won't look back. Sure they are way out of your price range, but who can honestly say they absolutley can not save up 300...

Thanks for the heads up guys. Man this stuff is pricey :( I'll keep checking these deals as I save up money. Who knows, maybe I'll just go with the GTS, for instant gratification, and less wait time. I guess its gonna be 2007 before I finish building this computer, as I want to get bigger...

Just bought a new pc, maxed out my funds, but I have a starter video card (cheapest possible since I plan on getting 8800 anyway). I want the BFG 8800GTX, but am wondering when people around here estimate a price drop. I won't be able to get the card till at least mid-late december anyway, so...
