With the abit boards ive had zero problems with gskill, crucial ballistix and corsair xms all using ddr2 800.
those memories are not in Abit's official list of rec'd sticks. Can you answer a question for me. Do I look for memory that is just 1.8v or can, or should I, get memory that has a...
My local Wal-mart has recently been displaying a whole line up of Sceptre monitors. One of the younger, computer savy geeks working there told me that Wal-mart is going to start adding more and more computer parts ("although we will never be like New Egg", that's what he said) and while most of...
