    512MB Crucial CAS3 + Generic (Need Opinion)

    I currently have a single stick 512MB Crucial CAS3 SDRAM (SDRAM) in my Abit KT7A-RAID. Works perfect. I am thinking of going with another 512MB stick of a different brand, possibly Generic to save cost. Question is: (1) Is it worth it to go 1GIG RAM. I know there is a debate on this a while...

    HOT DEAL Maxtor last day for 3-year warranty!

    What about buying warranty from places like Future Shop (Canada) or Best Buy. Buy their "in store warranty" for X Years and if you don't like the drive ... too small ... send it to the concrete floor and you have a bad sector. Screw HD companies, deal with the crooks at these BOX stores lol.

    Anyone know about the x10 cameras?

    If you have the cash, I'd recommend axis.com's Network camera, Check their site and you'll be impressed. Very expensive, but those are the ones people use for Live CAMS on the net.

    Poll: What is your favorite component for your system?

    Surprise: Floopy Drive. I love due to the fact that, Floppy is something that do not get absolute (Exclude the 120MB drive). All other components requires upgrade, and seing new products in the market makes you like the newer parts more than your existing one. You will most likely keep you...
