Geil Ultra Low Latency PC6400 4Gb (4 x 1Gb)

Well what might be the worst thing that could happen if I connected it all up as normal and it didnt work??

I was worried that I was on the edge as I was, let alone with a 8800GTX card!! :lol:

Thanks mate, thats good to know Means I can save even more money and just get the bits I need rather than worrying about what I dont

Where might I get a tester like the gent had in the other thread?? Would be interesting to see what my two rigs are using, as they are always on a full load on the CPU due to Boinc so both cores are always on 100%

Well, I'm aiming for two 24" monitors at some point, as the 19" models I have now, just dont have enough screen size! Besides, having a GTX seems rude not too

Thanks for the reply mate, glad to hear I've saving money here!! :lol:
