1333Mhz RAM is fine if you're not overclocking. :)

That one above is the only one with C6 timing and barely more than the cheapest 1333 so probably worth holding onto. Not really any detrimental effect by having the RAM's clock spec'ed slightly higher is there? Or maybe I should clock that one thing for him...


Worth going for something other than the F series? Always had good experiences with Samsung... Although the firmware update looks easy enough to do.

in a sata3 socket on that board the drive will just click-click-click-click-click on bootup if it has the incompatible firmware, you can boot up without the drive go into the bios and then plug the drive in and then exit bios and it will work as normal which is how i flashed my drive.
its really easy crucial have a guide on how to flash the firmware of there SSD's which you can follow but obviously you use the f3.exe supplied by samsung and not the firmware for an ssd drive
 
Is the SB850 much better than the SB710?


Is there a way to save my Shopping Basket? I logged in before leaving work yesterday thinking it would have automatically but it hadn't done so when I came back this morning. Would like to just click on it and go through it with my mate from home before buying without having to print off the contents and add it all again.
 
my shopping basket stays for weeks but maybe your browser is set to clear cookies when you close it?

sb850 i think its mainly just sata3.0 , usb3.0 and raid 5 instead of sata2.0 and usb2.0 on the actual south bridge.

I thought, if you logged into the main site, Overclockers would actually save your Basket so it's accessible from different computers, rather than relying on Cookies. I know there is some strange issue with cookies and Firefox on my work computer (I think IE works fine but I don't like it.)
