Guess I haven't had the most variety in RAM since upgrading to a new PC meant also using DDR400 instead of PC133, but the matched pairs of Corsair XMS PC3200 were well worth it...

A computers data storage subsystem bandwidth is fully taxed when burning a single DVD, two at once would cause either a system lockup or complete crash. Not only are you claiming to have 2500 DVDR's (Approx $2000), but you are also claiming to have two DVD burners.

That's redundant, Idiot.

Are you trying to increase sales for Gigabit Ethernet? The actual speed capability is limited to 125MB/s and this capability is not even reached unless you are using it on a LAN, and even then all PC's must have Gigabit Ethernet.

It's ram, crappy ram actually, not virgin sex or the resurrection of God. Calm down.

Improper usage of "GHz"...and what the hell kind of PC isn't personal? (PC = Personal Computer)? I also know you're lying about owning a Transparent PC.

Once again, It's ram, crappy ram actually, not virgin sex or the resurrection of God. Calm down.


I have a question...IzzUKaZy?
No...just a moronic asshat who apparently didn't install his CPU in the proper PSU socket.

Kingston baby. My fist kingston ram was a 4 meg 72-pin simm. It cost me 260$ It was cool. Needless to say that was WAY back in the day. I've owned kingston since.

My kingston value ram is running from 333 2.5,4,4,8 all the way to 412 2.5,3,3,8 i paid 150$ for a gig. But it has run at 435 at 3,4,4,8 but my psu cant handle the proc at that speed.
