Mushkin SP3200 Green Series DDR SDRAM, 512MB @ 42.95 x2

@ FalconFly,

So could you set me up a system, with just names like the ones below, so that I can read u pon it a learn why and where you got the stuff, cause I am new to allocating but Have built my own systems before... though they were on p133 cpus and stuff... So I may be a bit rusty...

Anyway thanks for all the great info, and I hope that all goes well with LHC.

I am still ready to chugg as soon as more modules are released...

One guy out of you all... lol, thats cool...

I am not only getting it for Numbers but for gaming too...

Thanks for all the info... I know I could make it cheaper but I trust the parts these guys get and they also offer Really sweet warrentys... I am a Computer gamer/Nerd/Security Guard, so money isnt that bad, but I am not home much so when I want to game I want to really game, and when I am not using it someone should...

Though thanks for all the info guys, and if any, Girls.

Bye for now and have a good day.

As I am only running a Pentium Centrino 1.7 Ghz, I am wondering why my computer is going to finish a 1,000,000 turn test in only 4 hrs? its going through the entire test, but they suggested that a 2 Ghz machine would take 10 hrs, what is differnt about my machine?

BTW: its a Centrino 1.7 Ghz, With 1 Gb of ram and a 40 gb Hard drive... and a 533 mhz bus front, and it is a laptop, but I have no probs with overheating or frying so I am not worried about that.

Thanks for any insight and have a good day.

P.S. I am trying to sell my computer if anyone is interested...
