    Looking for a Angled DDR socket conversion

    what are the chances of finding such dimms that are also low latency and the speed i'm looking for? i've thought of low profile but i don't think that would give me enough room in the case. guess i'm gonna just have to start cutting into an optical drive to make room. unless anyone knows of a...

    Looking for a Angled DDR socket conversion

    Ok, so I'm basically trying to finish up a g4 (quicksilver, non-mirror) intel mod I did awhile ago. Sitting in it is a nice 865 motherboard along with 2 sticks of corsair low latency memory. The memory is standard height and here is the issue. To get an internal optical drive I'd really need...

    NEC 1760V 17" LCD $349.90 AC @ Staples

    These monitors got great reviews and c'mon folks, you don't have to have DVI, loss of quality from conversion is no longer an issue with todays video cards and high quality components in the monitors. Now I just have to debate if I should get this and sell my old 21" HP trinitron or not.

    Is the memory speed more important or latency?

    wow, he can quote but can't read. the pc4000 standard isn't a standard yet. there is no official pc4000 standard, the memory that is being sold is fine i'm sure, but it isn't gonna work in as many motherboards as a pc3200 stick will because the pc3200 is a standard that the mobo makers can test.

    Can anyone please recommend an inexpensive AGP card for my new LCD?

    get one of the new geforce line of directx 9 cards. even the cheapest ones are still directx9 compliant, more than can be said about the cheap ati's (i actually have all ati cards but for low end they aren't as good as geforce)

    What is DPS and what is it good for

    not sure but i think these are talking about a voltage/power regulator for the cpu. alot of server boards come with these. they basically act as a backup for the capacitors on the motherboard. course i'm talking out my ass so this could all be wrong :P

    Is the memory speed more important or latency?

    unless i'm mistaken there is no offical pc4000 memory yet so what you are getting isn't officially supported. that's not to say it isn't that fast or anything. memory isn't that expensive so i wouldn't mind getting the pc3200 with the lower latency now. if future proof memory is what you need...
