| Congrats gfr. I'm sure you'll love that drive. Have the WD600JB.. really quick. Noticed it especially when partitioning in FDISK. 'Verifying Disk' runs 5 times faster than my Maxtor D740X 60GB. !! ddd |

| Congrats! Struggling with the same decision! My Process... "Do I want it? YES!" "Do I need it? No!" "Do I really want it? Absolutely!" "Do I really need it? Maybe!" "Why Do I really want it?" "...Cause it's COOL!" I know I'll probably wind up with one!  |

| Hey logic, How did you get your memory so fast ? I have a P4S533 and 2 PC2700 Samsung chips but even when I leave everything standard and the mem at 333 Mhz the system is VERY unstable ! If I look at this datasheet http://www.samsungsemi.co.uk/dram/Ne...ide_June12.pdf It says that the sticks have 4 banks (each) and the board only supports 4 banks but appearantly that isn't a problem for your set-up ! (I have a 2Ghz P4 and a GF4 TI4200) G |

| GRF, I have 2 double sided Samsung Ram right now. I don't have the model number but I will get it for you later on. I also up the voltage of my ram to 2.7v. That might help you. I know that I can do DDR400 no problem with my module. Logic
