well those 3 pieces will cost you $194,97...
and the one you choose at first, they'll cost you $234,97...

The Corsair RAM I have currently selected will cost the same as the OCZ RAM you linked after instant $10 savings and $10 MIR.
Now I have to decide if the extra heat will be an issue in that case I picked!

Honestly,
i wouldn't go with the Corsair Ram you selected because,
it runs at 1600Mhz...
Better of using the OCZ Gold 2x2GB DDR3 1333Mhz ($39.99) http://fwd4.me/tkZ
runs at 1333Mhz natively...

What about this GIGABYTE AMD MicroATX MoBo??
Does anyone else have an input or opinion on these AMD CPUs vs Intel i3s (and the mobos)

Ugh. Well there is one advantage of the i3 and H55 mobo. That RAM was supported fine
2011-01-12, 23:04
that MoBo will operate slower....
it has FSB: 1000MHz Hyper Transport (2000 MT/s) ....
better with my suggestion,,,
it has FSB: 2600MHz Hyper Transport (5200 MT/s) ....
See CPU BenchMark1 --> http://fwd4.me/tk0
See CPU BenchMark2 --> http://fwd4.me/tk3
You'll notice, i3 leads in Gaming...
AMD leads in video processing and intensive CPU operations....
oh and, 1333Mhz vs 1600Mhz, your eyes will never see the difference!!
but then if you really want to,
go with a Case Latency 7 RAM....
like this one --> OCZ Platinum 2x2GB DDR3 1333Mhz CL7 ($48,99) http://fwd4.me/tki
having a better timing in RAM makes a difference!!
its actually faster then your Corsair because Corsair has a Latency of 9!!
1333Mhz CL7 is faster than 1600Mhz CL9!!

Hi, I know that the thread for then original xbox has been discontinued, but could somebody help me?
I'm trying to get the icefilms script to run on the original xbox.
Am i banging my head against a brick wall? Is it even possible?
Has anyone had this work?
Any info or links would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Thanks for your input!! I know that CL7 is better than CL9 because of latency! I may look for Corsair RAM, they are my preferred brand. But I know OCZ makes decent RAM as well.

eskro, how does the Gigabyte AM3 compare to the original Gigabyte H55 (for the i3) that I had selected. I know that the original board was a very well-built board with good FSB, 16Gb RAM support, etc etc.
Just want to make sure I am not losing much functionality or mobo performance by switching to AMD and that AM3 board.

If we are gonna talk about Micro ATX AMD, this is my favorite board on the planet right now (for any CPU):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813128458
I have used it, can recommend it, great mobo. Only real step down is 8GB max vs. 16GB, but if you can afford 8gb ram sticks just buy the Asrock! I really like this mobo.
Honestly the more I think about it, eskro is right. I have put a Quad in that exact case. It can be done easily, the PSU can take it. But you will need one more thing, a better than stock heatsink. One with a 120mm fan.
I have fit one of these in that case before:

Okay!! Thanks for the comparison and great advice... so the stock cooler with the AMD will not do? If I am gonna spend another $40 on a cooler... then it defeats half of my motivation to buy the AMD. I wanted to go that route because it was cheaper and still had good performance!

honestly,
this GIGABYTE AM3 Micro ATX ($54.99) mobo http://fwd4.me/tkU
is perfect for you....
supports up to 8GB Dual Channel Memory... enough for me!
Reviews say that the CPU runs CooL too,,,,

It will do as in nothing will blow up. It will just be a little louder. When you stick quads in smaller cases like that the CPU fan has to work harder to keep it cool. A 120mm fan is quieter than a stock fan, so then it doesn't matter.
Seriously, you have some time before you need it. Wait for a great Newegg combo. Let that decide.

Yeah, that one is great too. Can't really go wrong with any gigabyte mobo.
