As far as I understood their was no simple way to calculate the ram divider shit. When the time comes Ill ask on THG, their are alot of posters who really know their shit when it comes to this kind of stuff.

But for me I know that opty will need to be atleast 2.5ghz and should be stable at 2.7 on air with slight voltage increases.

As far as the ram, the point was being able to not have to run a divider.. because that makes things easier. I could care less if its at 250 or at 290 as long as its stable. DDR is so bandwidth limited anyhow that such a modest OC in clock frequency will do very little good.

consider the arctic cooling freezer pro 64, half the price of the 9500, a little "worse" than 9500.

yeah theyre both viewsonic anyway, just look at the specs

if you're getting that HD for its SATA II, dont. its saying something when the 150GB Raptor uses SATA I. actually i think all raptors are SATA I, raptor or not, NOTHING can take advantage of SATA II

Ordered today

I paided the extra 7$ for it to be 2 day UPS instead of 3 day UPS. I figured that way theirs a ray of hope I'll get my stuff before monday. If if the order processes today and ships tommorow then I should get it thursday.

Whats retarded is that the monitor and case are comming from NJ which is like easy 1 day shipping from PA. The other shit is comming from CA so their going to have to like air mail it to get it here in 2 days. Unless they have mad man drivers that driver 8 hours straight.

omg. fuck UPS. lol no i dont think theyre gonna put it on air, youll just have to live with it coming later than what you PAID for... fucking UPS, i still have no idea how two packages were shipped from two warehouses with addresses 1 away from each other, one went to like St. Louis, the other went to Texas, one came in 4 days the other came in 3. i chose 3 day shipping.. im using fedex from now on..

Also paid the extra 3$ to upgrade my enermax to a 535W model (35 more W lol) but it had no modular cable support which I've read is a must with the P-180 due to the PSU being at the bottom and not the top like most cases.

Its been at step 1 all fucken day, im getting pissed here. And I will be calling/chatting online and bitching them out if my shit doesnt get here in 2 days. I paid for it, I want it. Fuckers
