    Best mouse?

    Well I just bought a Logitech G5 and the accuraly is good but I am not fully satisfied with it. Other than 1 programable button and side scroll it does not have to offer much. Any suggestions or should I keep this mouse? Also I don't know what the whole DPI deal is.

    I have 512MB DDR333 and A64 3500+. Ram OC question!

    Would it be better to leave my ram at 166MHz HTT with its stock timming or OC it to 200MHz to match the motherboard/cpu HTT with LOOSE timmings? I know I need to upgrade but I don't have the money right now. I just need to know what it better for the time being, thanks.
