Speaking of RAM, does anyone have any suggestions for a good mix of performance & price? I'm looking at some nice Corsair stuff, but it's about eur250 for 1GB, and I want 2GB, but don't really want to spend eur500 on RAM.

Dear Xintis... any RAM costing that much money is a ripoff. Its all the same, really... so long as it isn't from a no-name Chinese factory, performance will be virtually the same from different manufacturers (for same make and frequency of RAM). Most of it comes from the same factories anyways... Heat sinks as featured on glitzy Corsair stuff cost only a few bucks if you buy them separately, so that is no reason to pay such a mark-up...


A quick froogle search even shows those same chips to be far cheaper... (250 euros is ~296 US dollars). Even with import duties, that 250 euro figure can't compare, I think.
