    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    actually Wazzi, Canadians do NOT love cricket. They love hockey. Baseball is more popular than cricket. Our cricket team is made up of aging players who emigrated from India, Pakistan and the West Indies. 98% of Canadians have NO idea we are in the World Cup. I only know because I was in India...

    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    Already did that. Saw a WEALTH of info.....information overload. It all started will incredibly boring talk about FSB, latency, pin settings, voltage...yaaawn. I don't have the attention span NOW to do that. Also the info was extremely AMD-centric and had lots of advice for gamers using...

    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    no doubt....no doubt. I am not run by testoterone so I have no desire to do ANYTHING that would decrease my baby's stability. I want performance - not bragging rights. If I only was able to concentrate on the dry subject at hand....yuck!!

    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    Thanks for your sincere and honest reply. Obviously I am not going to go ripping out the E6600 for a quad core now. Nor will I go out and buy super expensive 2 GB RAM sticks - haven't even seen any yet. The system above is the system I have and the one I am going to go with. I do have a Raptor...

    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    But is there a simple and easy oc I can do that will improve performance? Something that doesn't require alot of effort, risk or voltage changes? I will oc in the future when I learn more about it. Now that I have my computer I am spending my time with my real passion - photography. So I've...

    Canada of course. I was in India last December and also was supporting them only for that reason. I was in Amritsar and made it to the border show with Pakistan. I also was in Jaisalmer and a few kms from the border in the That desert. I will one day travel down the Kakaoram highway.

    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    well, after asking about DDR2 6400 RAM - I ended up getting OCZ DDR2 8500 RAM. Women!! With a mail-in rebate it wasn't much more expensive than the others. I decided not to scrimp. I am NOT hurting for cash so I went with the best. Now I just have to learn how to use what I bought. Anyone...

    Whatever happened to aOpen mobos?

    When I last purchased a PC 6 years ago I went with an aOpen mobo (AX3SP Pro). They were highly regarded at the time. In fact my PC performed admirably with it's P!!! 1.0 GHz CPU and outperformed many of my friends more powerful PCs. Last month I had to upgrade it since I am now processing large...

    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    I scoured the internet & computer forums for info on the performance at stock of RAM at different frequencies and have found nothing but people's opinions. People ASSUME that there is a significant performance increase from using 533 to 667 to 800 MHz RAM but nobody knows how much. Those who...

    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    I considered the Gigabyte board - excellent oc'ing board/GREAT price and value but I gave Intel's expensive board the wink as it is STABLE at stock. These are my life's photos and I valued stability over all.

    Corsair, OCZ or Kingston RAM for Badaxe2 photography PC

    Thing is, I MAY want to OC in a year or 2 or 3 (whenever the system feels sluggish). I'd be happy to go with the 800 RAM knowing that there is at least SOME performance improvment at stock over 533 RAM. That way I don't have to pay for 800 when/if I decide to OC. But I wonder if 800 RAM will be...
