Frikkin awesome.

Update! My friend was given RAM to make his new computer, and he doesnt want to use it, because its DDR 266 MHz! Mine is too, so I am getting 512 MB RAM more, for $40 (retail value $112). And I am getting 256 MB more RAM of the same frequency for $15! Life is good!

It helps so much. My former friend just got 512 MB more, his *beep* loads so much faster. Its insane. Getting more RAM has been a dream of mine, but getting it for SO CHEAP, this is the deal of a lifetime! I cant really spend the money, but I cant honestly not do it! Its too good! Im gonna have 1280 MB of RAM!!!

Ive only got one 512 in mine, could do with another 512, Macromedia JRun keeps slowing down the system, and I cant find a way to remove it ive tried to delete the main JRun folder, but it says that half of the files are unmoveable, i hate that stuff

My dad is running a p4 2.4 clocked all the way out to 3.2. He needs to run like pc 4400 ram or something like that .

It's a pretty insane pc. much faster that a 3.2 running at default speed (because of the faster fbs). He has run both a 9800, and a 5950 in it (alternating between the two). Both very quick cards, with maybe the 5950 having the slightest edge mainly in the compatibility dept. Both equally as fast. He is going to upgrade to a 6800 gforce soon though I think.

Actually the 5950 is supposed to be better than the 9800. But holy *beep*, thats really cool. He should but a 3.2 EE, and overclock it to like 4000.

Computer one (first one bought)

Amd Ahtlon 2200 XP +
128 megs RAM
Nvidia TNT 2 32 meg video card
Yamaha Xblaster soundcard
2 x 40 Gig HD`s (Seagate)
Cd writer : yes.Samsung 52x24x52

Extra goodies : scanner i never use,hammerhead 3dfx joypad i use a lot,especially for emulation.

Computer two

Amd Athlon 2200 XP +
256 megs RAM
40 Gig Seagate HD
Onboard Sound
Radeon 9200 128 meg video card
cd writer : no

Both of them running via a switchbox,ie,they both share the same keyboard,mouse,and monitor,and with the press of a button i can switch between them.The reason the processors are the same is because i bought pc 2 with the idea to make it my upgrade machine,but shortly afterwards pc 1`s motherboard gave in,and fried the processor (it used to be an AMD K6 366mhz) ,so i had to basically rebuild the core.Seeing as i couldnt find a K6 again,i had to install something newer.

Im more than happy with mine,i game a lot,and sure,it wont run Doom 3 without more RAM,but i have more than enough games to keep me busy
