Thanks everyone!

Thanks all, cleared up my question. If I run said file a single time, and it does turn out to be a virus, does that mean I'm screwed? On the other hand, if I run it and it doesn't seem to be a virus (how would I know? AV scan/firewall?), it doesn't matter how many times I run it and the AV...

Say I have a file called file.exe, which I suspect is a virus. If I was to zip it, would it still be able to cause damage and problems, or in a zipped state is it effectively quarantined?

One question: WHY!? Everything in Europe (UK at least) is about 10 times as expensive as in the US, plus there is less choice!

Just a quick update. I ordered the MSI, and it didn't work. So, I've sent it back and asked for a refund, so I can order the Gigabyte. EDIT: Well, I'm thinking about it. I could get either, although the MSI would probably be cheaper. However, it does have less PCI/SATA/USB sockets, and...

OK, thanks Bonzai.

Thanks Yellow. :) Maybe I should put it another way... Shut the fuck up, both you. People have different opinions, that's life. Get over it.

Max I would go probably would be 3.6GHz, although I have heard all of the ones I've mentioned work well. I'll probably end up getting the Patriot TBH, heard a lot of good stuff about it.

That's what I was thinking. ;) I'm getting a 6750. My first one will be 3.2GHz, possibly pushing for higher but it depends how willing I am to take the risk (£115 for a 15 year old is quite a lot ;)).

OK, thanks, I think I get it. I still don't see why it's worth getting Crucial over, say, Patriot, unless I was going for max possible performance, every last bit, which I'm not. Also, it won't be on 24/7. Thoughts? I'll add the Crucial is from another store, which has all the other parts...

OK, I think I get it now. Although I've heard of the other brands I've mentioned running stably at higher voltages and higher frequencies/lower latencies. As stupid as this sounds...How do you overclock RAM frequencies? EDIT: Just seen two people have voted this thread 0/5 stars. :(

Don't worry. :) Let me rephrase my question haha: What makes Micron ICs so good? How are the the best for overclocking?

Please, lets stop this bickering/heated discussion. ;) I still don't understand why Ballistix is better than the others.

If only I understood MyFox or SerpantRoyal's argument! :P Ballistix is now winning 7-1-1-1-3. Which of the middle three do you think would be best, or is it just whatever I feel like? (Admittedly I'm probably going to buy Ballistix). What I don't understand is WHY Ballistix is so good...

Never heard that before! Not doubting you BTW.
