Gah, snap. You have to be 18 to be eligible for Intel Retail Edge bundles... fudgecakes...

EDIT: Slypenguin, in order to be eligible for that combo, you have to have 9000 chips (points) from the Intel Retail Edge website... then you have to fax in a copy of your latest paystub and some other shiznit. And you have to wait 'til December 31st, unless I read incorrectly.

[SlyPenguin0]

no you have to have the points by december 31st, but it starts november 5th, so its anytime between those two dates, and yeah i need like 1 more quiz to have enough points

I was reading an article on how the mhz of the different types of ddr2 ram work with FSB of the proc, and i have the pc6400, is that fine for the quad core?

also is the 600w PSU i have still fine?

[Tech Geek Deluxe]

Yeah ... Ram and PSU are fine ... what are the timings on the Ram?

I agree. The timing on that RAM is 4-4-4-15, which is perfectly fine.

ati x1950 card
2g dual channeled 4-4-4-15 ram
600w psu

You're essentially getting a free copy of Vista. Use it. It'll run fine, trust me. It only runs like crap for me because my processor can't keep up with me...

[SlyPenguin0]

Only thing attractive about vista for me was how much it copied Mac OSX, and i love Mac

just hard for me to want to use vista, when I ran diagnostics on my buddies new pc with vista on it, 2gigs of ram, and at idle, just on the desktop it was using between 47 and 51% of his ram, just to run

ew.

High five Mac buddy... Join the low-contender HL Apple Fanboy group... :)... I think that makes... 2 of us... haha.

I know, it takes a lot of RAM, but when you actually run something, Vista reallocates RAM to the open thing.

Sidebar eventually takes up an assload of memory (depends how strongly you use it). I just close it and reopen. Memory usage drops by 100MB.
