It then went in my old Antec case wich allready had been equipped with the Antec 550watt "True Control" power supply with adjustable voltage rails...perfect for daily use! Other hardware includes a single 256 stick of KHZ PC3500 BH-5 and a 512MB stick of Geil PC3500 BH-5 in dual channel mode...that had kinda realy surprised me it worked! I was always lead to believe that both sticks needed to be the same size! A "Borrowed" 9800 Pro from Digtal World handles graphics duties.

whoa there buddy, are you sure its ok to do that with your RAM? me brother fried 2x512 sticks dual channeled from diff brands. we suspect that it was diff timings and latencies, therefore they died.

now im not an expert on this, but they should go ok for a while, but then could start noticing that your comp will freeze, reset, or just plain ol' BSOD.

peace.
