Heh, you should have kept quiet, you'll be asked where you got them that cheap now, what the point of it was, and then I'll get asked again about whether they're faster or not... :P

Oh so where are u getting it? is it from a website? If not nvm. Sam come on. I wanna learn lol. I won't ask you wether their faster or not since you already told me that their all the same no matter about the price or how it looks or specs or anything and just get the cheapest lol. So I wanna see them from where ur getting them. My pc budget is freaking 1650.

yo sam I understand now ur one of my most helpfull dudes first of all i never trusted u but after reading other forums I actually do trust u now im into some cheaper rams. so yea thanx. but i can't choose. And I have a question if these rams are for high performance and gaming memory. here are the links this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184 or this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...=ddr2%20corsair . btw sam which one of those links should i get because the second has better latency which might mean it's faster. But idk. And by how much faster would it be? But I still wonder if 800 is a big difference from 1066 mhz or not because i want to get 1066 mhz for cheap that's why I'm asking where he got his ram. the 1066 mhz ones u have to manually set them to it they come 800. And how do u adjust are they hard to do or is it called overclocking? I went to bios on the computer im using and see nothing on changin the ram... how do u do it? peace.

Gera: We're back to the old situation of the cheaper one being better for no reason. I bought this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145197
Because, like on newegg, it also bizarrely turned out to be cheaper. I don't use the fan, however, because it's not necessary, those dominator heatsinks do an excellent job on their own.
I stand by my decision of getting the Samsung monitor, on that budget, there's no need to cheap out on a monitor that could cause you issues.
Of the slower memory, the latency doesn't really make a great deal of difference, I would go with the cheapest stuff as it's excellent value for money. The only way you will notice the difference between 1066mhz and 800mhz memory is if you overclock, which I'm not recommending you do, not for now anyway. Boien isn't going to let on about where he got his RAM as he doesn't want you to get it before he does, it's most likely ebay or craigslist.
Boien: A GTX280 are you mad? Change that for a 1GB 4870 or a GTX260 Maxcore pronto, you've just wasted a hundred dollars!

Oh ok sam also I learned from another forum that if the latency includes 2T at the end it's for higher ram memories but is slower at least faster than 1T if if it's higher ram memories. but would it be faster with 1T (the ram that's worth 113) on 4gb or is 2T required?

1T and 2T only really made a difference for older AMD systems. Just leave it at 2T and forget about it.

What do u mean when u said leave it at 2t? U mean just get the 2T one? Oh and what is high-grade memory?

You can't buy memory with either setting. It's something you set in your BIOS control panel.

They both are not 2T though. For the one that doesn't say 2T u can't set it to it at bios i guess. so yea which one should i get One that says 2T at the end? Or one that doesn't (which is the one with the fan).

It's just the difference in marketing, they all need to be run at 2T, forget about it.

Ok well yea I either have to wait till the core i7 comes out so the price for my pc (q9550) gets cheaper or wait for even longer for the hole pc to get cheaper.

Then why are you getting your component list now? prices, and what is available completely change from month to month, this is all pointless unless you're building the system now. Why not just get a cheaper processor like the Q6600? That will be plenty for your system. You said you wanted to be able to max everything out, by the time you're done waiting for the Q9550 to be cheap enough, it won't be the CPU that can max things out any more. Prices of specific components change, but you always have to spend the same amount to be able to get certain levels of performance.

sam don't worry because I know how it gets cheaper. I probably won't want to change my mind and be like oh now i want to get something better and stuff.

And costs half as much. The Q9550 is around 30% faster than the Q6600. Hope you can justify all that extra cost for that performance gain. I've owned both CPUs so I know what it's like, and really, I shouldn't have made the upgrade, but I don't spend money on anything other than my PC.

really? youve owned both? interesting. did you downgrade back to the q6600 or stay with the q9550? as i said before, i have a 350.00$ gift certificate that im dedicating solely to the CPU which is why im getting that with no brakes, otherwise id probably get the q9400 which is about 80 dollars cheaper and still 1333fsb, but the l2 is half the size so im sure that helps with the 30% faster part . i too, like you, only spend my money on my pc and parts as well so i dont cheap out. no reason to when it comes to a PC, but again i say, 1650??? go big

People want to buy my Q6600 so it's not quite so much of an expense to upgrade to it. The only reason I really went for a Q9550 was that I found an E0 stepping one, which is better for overclocking.

E0 is worth more though? one that I won't want to get since Im not overclocking.. Oh sam when u got ur ram the one that i showed for 113 did it come with 800 or 1066? did u have to manually set it to 1066?

I'm an overclocker, so I actually set it to a different value. This is why I suggest you get 800mhz memory, as you do not need to manually go into RAM settings and fiddle around.
