Hi Norm- l like your posts!
Just remember, if your PC is a bit slower than the rest, its ok since it just means that the crashes will have longer between them and that the junk that Windows seems to generate all by itself will take longer too!
It's all about the taking part not the size of the wallet- and we are all jolly chappies so no need to feel intimidated. Theres as much value in picking up bargains and slowly crafting your machine as there is making all of the right (very expensive) hardware purchases all in one go.
A slight elabouration on my sig:
MB is a Lanparty Infinity 875P
P4 2.8 oc'd to 3.6
512 Mb Corsair XMS4000 RAM
ATI 9800XT
Zalman graphics cooler + optional 80mm fan
Coolermaster Jet7 CPU cooler
Antec truepower PSU
2 samsung cd drives (DVDROM/CDRW)
2 x WD Raptors (36Gb ea.)
Lots of UV reactive leads
3 x cold cathodes
3 x UV led clusters
6 x Antec 80mm fans
Logitech MX510 optical mouse
Zboard keyboard
CTX TFT panel
Thermaltake fan/temp controller
That is my ickle box there in that photo

Hell, this is an endless race of cash being thrown at my box......
Hey tsonta, are you from Germany?
Yeah, Geil is a pretty good brand of RAM, its rather new and its a German brand. Its also not too expensive either.

i'm Greek and I am fluent in German, so I know what Geil means, hehe. The ram is running perfectly fine, I was using some generic Samsung PC3200 memory which was hitting a wall at 244MHZ FSB onwards. With this Geil memory it runs at 274MHz, this is quite an unexpected improvement....
