Thanks for the link, that is awesome. Wanted to go triple channel with my X58 mobo, but 8GB at that price is too good. No advantage of triple channel over dual channel anyways.
Wow, wish we could get RAM that cheap in Australia....C_Rule
I wish Uk tech was that cheap, why do americans get everything so cheap and still complain about the price :lol: (im not about the majority just a few)
[QUOTE="C_Rule"] Well everything else too of course, but I looked up that RAM on an Aussie site, and it's nearly double the price.kungfool69
Only one place to shop in Australia - MSY. 8GB kit is $122 for a cheaper brand, $142 for Kingston.
whata horrible website though.....
they have just opened a shop near me in WA so i might pay a visit down the track.
Ye, their price list layout is pretty horrible, though I'm sure you would get use to it. I really like PCCaseGear's site, plus they have pretty good prices.
Damn I'm on a ddr2 system and want to order it for future use. Do you think it's worth it if I get a new processor and mobo by January? I'm tipsy and can't comprehend prices right now :(, but 89.99 seems pretty low.

i7 950 is $200 @ Micro Center. I'm using the cheapest X58 mobo but it is also very highly rated. Go for it.

I actually prefer MSY's layout, it may look messy, but just hitting Crtl+F allows me to find basically any component without the hassle of clicking through page after page of website. The PDF is fine, yet the HTML site is absolutely horrific on the eyes, and navigation is truly all over the place - looks like a job done by a 6 year old who's coding his first site.

I dunno i'm used to it now. Once you've been on it enough you can find what your looking for easily. Granted it does not offer any info aside from the product name and in some cases only the brand name which is very annoying.
It will only make a difference if you are close to using all 4GB in apps. I come close to that in games when I have Firefox open with its persistent memory leakage, so this helps me a lot. Some games use above 2GB of RAM as well, so this helps in that situation also.

Can't be as bad as Opera. Atm, it's using 600mb. :D But I put up with it, it is after all the fastest browser, and everything else about it is great. The most RAM I've managed to use (with a game) was 3.5GB and that was with the most horribly ported game. GTA4 + Opera + WMP.

GTA4 + Opera + WMP.Firefox uses up to 1.5GB then after that it simply freezes and I have to restart it or else the memory leakage would continue. I HAVE to use Firefox for one reason - AdBlock Plus. I can't live without it and I can't stand the proliferation of ads I see without it. There are a lot of other reasons I use Firefox but that is the big one. GTA IV was not ported well. Mafia II runs @ constant 60 FPS with AA for me with few exceptions and that is very similar to GTA IV.

Who needs AdBlock Plus? Google Chrome beta has that built in, and then you use Privoxy to block the other 80%. No need for chunky addons for firefox.

There are a boatload of other addons I use for Firefox and I love the custom skins too.

Sweet... My hardware suggestion topic became a miniature browser war... At least that kept bumping it though... I hope many of you got this deal. If I see any others, I'll post them.
p.s. To the guy that posted about that i7 950, I checked out that site and it wouldn't let me add it to my cart. I guess it sold out, which at that price, it should.

I bought the RAM myself. If it states it is sold out or you have already bought one in the past then no, you can't buy one. Otherwise, you should be able to.
