i ordered two sticks of samsung 256mb pc2700 ddr from z-buy and i just got it. The number on it reads K4H280838D-TCB3. According to the samsung product guide the banks are 8M x 16. is this any worse off then say the K4H560838C-TCB3 which is 32m x 8? latency problems or anything? thanks, -eyi...

just got a Antec 1080. It came with three fans. Two are in back with the power supply and one on the side. The 2 in the rear are set to blow out of the case and the side is set to blow in. There are 2 places for intake fans in the front which comes through the filter. For starters i dont want...

yea i didnt go for the cu+ for exactly that reason. how will they compare in noise though? -eyi

i bought a fan called the ThermalTake 6cu rated at 32 cfm with 31 dBA. Will this be any better then the fan provided in the athlon xp retail package? -eyi

anything i should know about this board (Gigabyte GA-7VRXP)? im probably going to buy the parts for my system this week. Is the lack of overload protection a problem? Should i be considering a different board? -eyi

yea, i just want a $15 fan for my athlon xp 1900. im not planning on overclocking. whats the best once, preferably quiet since im not over clocking. -eyi

when i was looking into speakers last summer i decided to get the monsoon 2000 4.1 setup. i like it alot, very crisp. Back then Klispsch was the best for game's/dvd's but trash for music. I decided to go with the monsoon's because they are much more musical then the klipschs. -eyi
