Wow, his brain is so preoccupied with lying that he's actually forgotten how to speak English properly...

Edit: Oh yeah, hi Xprincox.

hey guys thanks for the warm welcome :) Actually i do have a few questions now that i've looked around :p

Yea i just ordered my new system on newegg. But after reading some reviews and comments i decided to go with the abit NF7-S mobo with some corsair xms pc3200 instead as i heard theres some voltage probs with the asus board which basically hinders the ocing capabilities. But then i'm hearing stuff about abit boards having leaky capacitors probs. So i dunno i'm kinda confused as to which board to get now.... :confused:

As for the corsair ram can someone tell me the difference between the corsair regular version and the platinum version? There both $153 on newegg.... i'm thinkin one has a aluminum heatspread while the other one has a copper one? Or is it just color preference? hehe

O and how do you gets get like ur setup and stuff under ur posts? U don't have to type that stuff out like everytime do u?? :Q

Sorryz if if im askin all these n00b questions.. i am still learning, so please enlighten me o great ones!! :D

There's a

link to the official thread on your board, a good 1/2 day's reading.

You should get a great OC on your system.

You forgot to add a maximum age to that. You don't want him posting pics of his grandmother do you?! :Q

I have the regular ones, which don't have the fancy blue color. I'm pretty sure they both come with copper heat spreaders, but for the same price, might as well go with the 'premium,' eh? :)
