I'm looking for advice on RAM. Everyone seems to be making memory chips now-a-days, some seem extremely inexpensive that I have to wonder about how well they are built and will preform; on the other end of the spectrum... horribly over priced for fancy cooling fins.
I'm interested in your opinions and experiences, what make do you recommend and what's with timing speed I see on these things now?
There is a growing problem with memory not being compatible between systems. Your best bet is to use memory from the list of recommendations from the motherboard/system manufacturer.Quote:

Anyhow go by the list first and then check reviews from reputable sites that have tested your MB/system and you should do well.
Thank you Fire$torm.Quote:

But I can't believe that I forgot to go through eBates to order... dang, that and my PSU that I ordered, that would have been like $10 I could have gotten back.
Oh well, there are still more parts to order for The Annihilatrix. :)
Keep on ordering. I'm already thinking of how I can justify another system for myself...Quote:

I can cash out 168 hours of vacation each year and I'm figuring I can probably build either (2) high-end rigs, (3) mid-range rigs or (5) low-end rigs every year. How sick it that?!
And I'm still batting around the idea of building a 12 core server. I must be out of my mind. :)
I suggest you visit this thread --> You know you've Boinc'ed too much and then come and join the new support group I'm starting called Boincers Anonymous.Quote:
