Ordered the memory, stick of this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146112

Keeps going back n forth between sold and available, amazed they got anymore in before the rebate ran out... since it will go up probably 40$ when it goes out-of-stock.

Waiting till tomorrow to see if Fry's has any good CPU+Mobo combos, if not, the CPU and Motherboard will be ordered soon thereafter. Then I can finally use that HD + Videocard that have been waiting for me in their tidy non-dusty boxes :p

Did you just ordered the memory only for now, incase the price keeps going up?

I was planning on buying it, if thats what you mean. I think it will be sold out again tomorrow like it was around monday...

The Latency is something like 4-4-4-10 @ 1.9V, I think thats pretty good... other Mushkin memory has gotten good enough reviews for me, plus I have faith in Newegg rebates, already got one back from my HD. Is there something wrong with it? :confused:

I'm sure the price will go down nearing christmas, but all the new games are coming out around Oct-Nov, and I'd rather have the PC ready to go vs trying to whip it together under time strain :p

Hopefully before I bury myself with something bad Foz or rabb1t will come to the rescue? :eek:

Do what? Kinda hard to protect peeps when they have 50 topics for 1 line of logic. :p

Provided you aren't feeding that ram chip to a robot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-sJ6odgQrM) that should work just fine for an Intel build.

I was just wondering on what the final system you settled on was, thats all.

Haha, thanks :p

That memory, and some type of Conroe + Motherboard... could be a E6300/E6400/E6600, depends on how good of a deal they have (compared to buying it online), although they might have some crummy motherboard combos. As for motherboard; MSI 975x/P5W Wifi/P5D Deluxe/P5N32-SLI would also work. Can't really say until tomorrow's paper.
