    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    I pulled my 1GB (2- 512mb ) DDR333 and put in 2GB (2-1GB) DDR2 667 PC5300 Kingston RAM with 2.9 Bios and it runs great. I wish it had 4 DDR2 memory slots since the 1GB DDR2 RAM sticks are so cheap.

    UPS holding my C2D CPU for a week before delivery !

    I live in NJ and Newegg now charges 7% NJ sales tax since they have a location here. I just ordered a DVI cable today from ZZF with 2-day Fedex that was cheaper than Newegg.
