    Hehe, thanks. If it doesn't make that much of a difference, why do they put them at all?

    Does a heat spreader make a difference?

    Hi, I was wondering if you guys have ram with heat spreader or not. Is the price difference worth it? I mean if you had two similar pieces of ram, how much difference in performance does the heat spreader provide? Thanks, pitupepito

    the big upgrade after 4 years

    Yes, I was looking at this too. Since my motherboard is old, do you think that it would make a difference wether I put a higher peformance? I'm a college student, so $30 streches out a long way. So I am trying to analyze how much would be the different between DDR400 and DDR500? I mean is it a...

    Solaris X enviorment

    They had cde at school, and I personally hated it. It was slow, ugly looking, didn't feel snappier. I also didn't like the file browser, or the way the menus were setup.
