True, you've had some extreme headaches from your stuff lol

Maybe I will wait for the new year and a new job, ive spent a pretty penny this past few months and ive got to try and get control of my ocd before my girlfriend finishs me or even worse kills me lol

:D
 
go for the crucial cas 3 if your board can handle it

If my board can handle DDR2 667, might it still not like cas 3?
