Ok I'm looking for an 80gb or 120gb eide hdd. Price please.

Would the mystery supplier be able to offer a better deal on a dual 512mb channel value kit such as the following product from OCUK?
GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS2.5 (GE1GB3200BHDC) (MY-005-GL) (£82.19 inc vat @ OCUK)
It's not stunning ram, but it was the best specs I could see at lower prices. All the CAS2 and better than 2.5-6-3-3 modules were usually easily more expensive...

Alternatively, can I get a price on a single 512mb stick of pc2700 ram (2.5-3-3-7) to match (any make so long as it's speeds are similar ):
Manufacturer : Samsung
Model : M3 68L3223CTL-CB3
Type : 512MB DDR-SDRAM
Technology : 16x(32Mx8)
Speed : PC2700U 2.5-3-3-7
Date of Manufacture : 25 December 1999
Set Timing @ 167MHz : 2.5-3-3-7
Set Timing @ 133MHz : 2.0-2-2-6

I've asked for the prices for both of you and will get back to you.  

In the mean time I will try to get back to the difficult job of working out which bits of kit to order for an upgrade to a 64-bit system.  I'm currently stuck on this problem:

- I like the ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
- but I like the ATI graphics card

So why buy an SLI mobo and lose the slot space when i'll never run SLI!  See the dilemma?

Do I stick with the mobo or go for a different one?  Or should I go for an nVidia graphics card instead and keep the mobo?  Or do I stick with both and lose the slot space? I hate difficult decisions like this :angry:

Just to really help you should also look at the LanParty sli board. Its a lot more configurable than the asus is. All the reviews of it rate it very highly. Personnaly I would go with an nvidia card so you can run sli at a later date.

[suicidal_monkey]

imho SLi isn't something to think about unless you can actually afford the dual 6800gt option because although two 6600gt boards come close to or even beat a 6800gt there are issues with game compatability and stability. Plus, in 6 months you might find that 6800gt prices have fallen further than 6600gt prices and that SLi is then an option!

What you should probably do is ask yourself the question: "with all the onboard stuff on the Asus mobo, do I honestly expect to fill up all the available slots?" Then, considering that the SLi boards are running Nvidia chipsets it might be better to stick with Nvidia on the graphics front too? It also leaves the SLi option open so long as your gfx board is still available in 6 months!

Otherwise I guess you have to think up a different combo with a non-SLi A64 board, ...or go for the intel 64 bit option! :S

Sorry, no special price on Geil, but happy to price match.  The supplier is good quality, so you won't have to deal with the Overclockers RMA team if it gores pear shaped!  PM me to confirm a deal.
