Re: Building a new computer, need some HMT geek advice.
Almost done shopping 
Id love to rock a faster Athlon 3500, but after the 3000+ the price just takes the ---- off.
One last question regarding memory. WTF is the huge price diff. of 1g of pc3200? Like anywhere from $60 all the way to $150. All I can really see is a diff. in CAS latency and registered/unregistered. Does it really matter? I also noticed corsair makes some mem with low latency for OCing.
Got any good memory review links? Cant find much for that on THG

Re: Building a new computer, need some HMT geek advice.
ditch the raptor. its overprice and the seagate i put in mine has higher min/max/avg transfer rates. the only thing good w/ the raptor is seek times, but once ---- is rendering it doesnt need to seek for it anymore.
also.. what's the wattage on your PSU. how old is it?
