Re: new monitor and memory?

I cant speak to the monitor (off brand however) but the memory is a waste of your time, unless you have been researching this and know for a fact the ram modules are UCCC or TCCD etc.. (I know knowing about these particular sticks of ram you have choosen) and your buying them for a specific purpose. If your just looking for run of the mill PC3200 your thowing away money.

Has some nice bling heatspreaders, and even lower timings than that XMS. For even cheaper 100% value ram can be had for about $5 less. Right now there is a $20 instant rebate so the price is very competitive with naked value ram.

I know the bling bling factor is important to some people... :)
