THERE IS NO BENEFIT OF USING DDR2 1000 ON INTEL SYSTEMS. Do you even know what your memory speed is with C2D @ stock frequency? 266x2 = 533 MHz (DDR2 533 speed). Overclock 25% will net you 333x2 = 666MHz (DDR2 666 speed). 50% OC is DDR2 800. All in 1:1 FSB:Memory ratio. What about memory dividers? ...

Well, not for C2D, but if quad-core is the plan, all that bandwidth might just come in handy. Please DO NOT comment on something you have NO IDEA about. Do you even know what your memory speed is with C2D @ stock frequency? Please read the statement again. I said that the the bandwidth was not need...

It's already inside my system so I can't get you any pix, but there are a few reviews online already. I dont have S12 500 but only an older not sleeved version of S12 380. M12 has noticable longer cables, has the standard ATX24pin and 4/8pin power cable. My s12 380's cabling is not long enough for m...

You are spending all the money on GPU and CPU, and yet your choice of HDD are only at the mid range? Go get an SAS card, 3 Cheetah 15k.5 72GB in RAID 5 for OS and 3 750GB in RAID5 for data please Overkill and overly loud. Two 7200RPM HD's are bad enough. SCSI drives are not all that loud inside P18...

Outdoor temp is about 16, indoor temp is about 18-20. CnQ not enabled (currently running Vista, no CnQ driver). Zalman's low profil...

XFX has that 7950 passively cooled. ASUS has 7600GT in passive heatsink too. gigabyte's 7600GT and X1600 works amazingly well. My AMD box (see sig) is not audible at night. My desk lamp is louder than that box, except at times when the DVD drive is spinning. BTW, I don't have iPod or any MP3 player....

Interesting case, but personally i prefer a refrigerator look instead of a neon light box Thats the 900, this is the P190 which seems to look pretty much like a P180 only longer. Not interested in running AMD's 4x4 (a rebrand of 2 socket opteron) or any EATX server motherboards. Don't see any need ...

Re: M12-600
I just got my M12-600 and here are a couple thoughts: 1) The 120mm fan is quiet, although my old Antec TPII-550 with a YL fan-mod was smoother sounding. This fan is exactly what was in the older 500-600W models 2) The 60mm fan never runs (though it is in a P180 case) - at least not so far, so I can...
