    Good stuff isn't it, worked for my 6800:) Ah, sorry I forgot you mentioned that already. If you had PC3200 ram you could bump you 2500 up to a 3200 with a simple overclock. But it's no big deal.

    Im getting 256 mb of pc 3200 in the mail soon. right now in my pc i have a 512 of pc 3200 and a 512 of pc 2700. when i get my 256 of pc 3200 in the mail should i just loose the 512 od 2700 and only use the 512 and 256 of 3200 that i have ? it will be less then a gig but i think it will be better like that what do you guys think?

    Hmmm, it would be nice to have all your ram running at the same speed and overclocking would be easier but I think performance would be very similar either way. Try and see what happens, maybe you'll be impressed with the speed. Or you could throw it all in and have an odd 1.25 gigs or ram but I wouldn't bother.

    Try using different combo's first but if you're not planning on overclocking stick with what you have:)

    Right now it's sitting at $11.49. Not bad for a 60GB drive. That and Seagate is a solid brand.

    Nice, too bad he doesn't have more, otherwise you could have like RAID 4 for $45.
