    another FSB/mem speed ?

    So overclocking aside, I really am not benefiting from the 800mhz stuff? I was thinking I would just buy another Kingston 533 1GB stick to match the one I have if this is the case. (stuffs dirt cheap)

    another FSB/mem speed ?

    I ended up buying the 4600 X2 Amd processor and an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe NF570SLI AM2 MB. A buddy of mine hooked me up with a KVR533D2 1gig stick of ram. Am I creating a bottleneck by using the 533 stuff? I don't plan on OCing. I'm not real clear on the actual relationship of the FSB and mem...

    new c2d Dell comes with 667mhz mem...issue?

    I've had good luck with Dell in the past, I don't oc, I just want a good stable sys for BF2/other games and the wifes school work. (No headaches) My old 2.4a P4 has served me well but BF2 has made me start looking for an upgrade. Looking at Dell's website I see that the C2D E6600 sys is using...
