50€. Is it ok price/performance? The heatsinks makes them look leet, and they fit perfectly in my budget. The option would be Kingston KVR ValueRAM, wich is basically unclockable.

It's for usage with a P4 and maybe an E6600 on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 board.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

looks pretty good

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Yep, I have the non DHX versions and they are actually a lot better than you think. Shame I paid £195 for mine 15 months ago.

Yes sir.

Corsair makes some great RAM.

Ok, thanks. Now I've ordered them along with the motherboard.

Whoah. You're actually upgrading? The apocolypse has been reached.

Can't go wrong with that type of RAM. Corsair's an excellent brand, although I prefer Patriot myself.

Not enough monies for that

My old(Rather new, actually, lol) 7600GS will have to suit me for propably about half a year more. At least.

Not so bad, really. I can just hope it'll handle EP3 and Supreme Commander with somekind of framerate.
