Get the dual core one.

Where did you order that you don't even get them the next day?

There are no wierd speeds in overclocking, only in marketing because big rounded numbers sound fancy. It's not like the size of the RAM modules being in 64-128-256mb etc. Stories about a piece of hardware being "picky" are just that, rumours and stories. Mostly from people who shouldn't be...

...of all things, I can't believe you're arguing about the fingernails of the person in the picture.

Sorry but to me the fact that KH thinks those nails need more trimming is more interesting than SBB.

Ok I'm stupid. Please explain what you're saying here. Does it mean: 'get DDR2 800MHz RAM and OC to 1200MHz'? Does it mean: 'get DDR2 1200MHz and see whether it works' If not, then I don't get it, and if you really mean that, then you just can't be serious.. Both. Before this marketing sillyness yo...

The DDR2 ram speeds are stock values that indicate what RAM speeds of modules are recognized by the BIOS and run stable and correctly. Then you can overclock to whatever rate your memory becomes unstable. You can do this yourself or you can buy into the marketing ploy that is SLi-Ready RAM/mainboard...

What? There's barely any white left on those nails.

What if you buy high end technology products without researching them? www.hardware.info search for DDR2 sli-ready memory modules and look what they can be "overclocked" to. Even gives you where to buy them, but you can check out tweakers pricewatch for many more stores and their prices. I...

QVL is just a list the marketing department made up to get some sales to official partners.

I'd try Kingston 1200MHz.

You really should've checked that out before ordering anything. Asus lists DDR2 speeds of 533, 677, and 800 MHz. The SLi-Ready speed is reported as 1200 MHz. That means you can have the BIOS overclock a little bit easyer for you IF you buy overpriced "SLi-Ready" memory. It doesn't give ext...

Of course you can buy new equipment that comes out. You could buy a €400 vid card now and again in 2 years, or you could get an adequate vid card (that will run any new game on max when combined with the rest of your hardware) both times for €100 and use the remaining money for something...

7zip is probably more limited by I/O performance, but yeah of course your options are faster than mine. In my opinion quad core is for when applications use it well and yeah for servers. Maybe in a year or two. I'm just saying that buying an ok base and upgrading as you go along is better for long t...

64 bit XP drivers for core components are fine now. As far as drivers are fine on any platform lately. In my opinion geforce 8 series isn't worth it (yet), I'd rather wait for the 9 series by which time it might actually be nessecary to take something better than say a geforce 7900 or radeon x2600 w...

The "OMG you never ..!? Everyone should ..." thing is more an expression of enthusiasm. For example you could say "OMG you never heard of Omnimaga!? Everyone should go there!" Someone likes the subject so much he wants others to relate to it as well so they will have something to...

You could just use a terrabyte drive, 99% chance it won't explode/break down/whatever.
