Okay guys. Hey I'm new here, my other account's email got disabled so I made a new GS account and linked it with my FB account. I do know a bit about PC's so don't take it I'm arrogant 'cos I'm new ;D 4870HD 512MB 2x2GB Corsair (The good stuff, 2-2-2-14/800MHz Dual Channel) iCute Server Case super 18 (18 HDD's :O, only got 2 :P) Intel MoBo (it's fairly decent, PCI-E x16 2.0 etc) 500GB HDD + 200GB HDD (680HDD total) Windows XP Home edition (32 Bit ofc ;D) Antec Extreme 650W PSU E7400 2.8GHz Intel Dual Core ^^^ Probably forgot something I could sell that for $800... and with an extra $600.. I could get a Q6600 (I often muilty task, its better for me personally than an extra 5-10FPS) GTX295/GTX470 (I HATE ATI, I would prefer my old 8800GTS 320MB to this :/ ) 760i XFX 4GB DDR2 800MHz Rest i'd see whats on sale. Or is my build sufficiant? I sorta hate XP...
Forgot to say, this is in New Zealand Dollars.I-liek-u
Hmm well you could only really sell that for $600-$700 USD (which is about $850 to $990 NZD but I'm not really sure what people are willing to pay in your country though).
2-2-2-14 timings?! DAYUM! I'd buy those up in a second!

Now that you point it out, that sounds far more along the lines of high-end DDR1 except for the 14 at the end, which would be more along the lines of a 4 or 6 if it really were DDR1. How DID he get the timings that low and keep it stable? Anyway, that PC seems fine to me, especially if you overclock that CPU a bit. If you really need a quad-core, you could probably save up for a Q9550, which a motherboard with PCIe 2.0 would probably support.

I can't even get 4-4-4-15 to work on my OCZ Plat rev.2 without it crashing in a game even though it's advertised to work at those timings.

If you're running four DIMMs like I am, it seems that CAS 4 just isn't going to happen no matter what, at least on Intel's Core 2 chipsets (P35 in my case).

My motherboard didn't like it when I paired 2GB OCZ platinum with 2GB of OCZ Gold. The first problem I had was it would give me no display when I start up the computer which I got around but then a few days ago my dvd drive stopped working and as soon as I took out the 2 sticks it worked flawlessly. I was thinking about buying a new 2x2GB kit but seeing as how I'm not really having trouble with anything I do, I think I'll hold off for as long as possible. I'm still using XP, so even when I'm playing Crysis Warhead I have extra ram left over.

Oh **** guys, got it a bit mixed up :L 4-4-4-12. BUT i've seen some 2-2-2-14's before :O must have been in my mind when I was writing this. but yeah they DO exist, **** expensive tho, around 2-3x more than 4-4-4-12. not to mention that 2-2-2-14 was at 800MHz :S
