Do they work well? Is it easy to get done and generally worthwhile etc? I remember reading about issues people had with them before, I've never used one before so I don't know all that's involved with them.

[QUOTE="-GeordiLaForge-"]I would only change one thing. I would get this RAM instead. It only requires 1.5v for the stock speed of 1600MHz (9-9-9-24), so it should overclock very well. Plus, it matches the motherboard :) $65.99 - WINTEC 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz RAM And here's a good PSU. It's an excellent deal considering what you're getting.. $69.99 - Antec NEO 620W PSUsimpsons1fan

less voltage usually means less heat and more headroom for OCing...OCing RAM is really for enthusiasts though, u see very, very, and i mean very, minimal gains from it

EDIT: and the diff b/w 1333 and 1600 is small as well, but there's so really good prices on 1600mhz ram, i have the Kingston HyperX 8gb @ 1600mhz and you can find it for around $40

yea pretty much, but judging by ur PSU you probably weren't too worried about it right?

i believe that's the "actual frequency" (i don't know the exact lingo) but yea so i have 1600mhz ram, but in cpu-z it shows as 800mhz...i forgot why that is, but yea so actual frequency is always half of what ?advertised? frequency is (help with lingo ??)

EDIT: quick google search shows RAM clock is what is advertised the most and what your BIOS tells u....RAM frequency show be around half of the RAM clock i believe (Double Data Rate = DDR)

I assume you are talking about old data left on your hard drive from when you had Windows XP installed. If you want to remove the old content you should have performed a clean install of Windows 7 instead of upgrading, as upgrading will retain the old files. To perform the clean install you should format the hard drive, which in turn, will erase all data from your hard drive. Then perform a new install of Windows 7.
