Okay, LAN gamers need to be shot...

some people collect baseball cards others case mod and i hide bodies. the point is we all have hobbies.

[EeeekPenguins]

IMHO case modding is a waste of money. Buy your self a new CPU, mobo, video card, etc. Dont waste $300 in LED's for christ sake.

[blackwave]

I've never understood the whole case modding thing.

Amen to that, but I mostly use laptops... which is mostly a non-mod market in the first place... sure there are exceptions... but not nearly as prevalent as the desktops and towers out there... I don't buy the comparison to the import and low-rider mods... those get chicks for some reason... at least hot models... I have yet to see the same 'Mod-expos' where you can walk up and take a picture with an intel-girl in a bikini and an AMD girl wearing a thong... or a kingston girl posing half-nude on an exposed box...

... btw if someone has please let me know, I must be living on another planet!!!!! :D :D

corsairs XMS line is very good and one of the highest rated ram out there. but i wonder is this new ram can live up to the marketing or if its all just some dream. does anyone have a review of it or actually have this ram?

[murakami]

Man you guys just don't get it. This ram is "Xtreme" which means it has to be better than anything else. If it were just "extreme" it would suck...but they spelled it with a X in the front, so it has to be Bad ass RAM. ::ending sarcasm::

Thanks, I finally get it now. I was pronouncing the "X" as "Ch"

You are right, Xtreme sounds much faster than Chtreme. Woot here comes my boner!

[Deathbycaffeine]

pfft.

Its kinda like jacking up a POS sedan with airshocks, bolting on some traction bars, slapping on Cragar mags with offbrand raised white letter tires, and welding on glasspacks.

It looks like you did something to make it fast, but its still a POS sedan. At least thats what we did back in the day.

Kids have it much easier today, you paint a POS compact car yellow, slap on a bunch of stickers, and hoseclamp a coffee can tailpipe. Voila, instant Type R!

Skroo- remembe rthe two things that drive the computer industry:

Games

Porn

Then one has to ask, why has there been no significant advancement in Video conferencing in the last 5 years then? You'd think that the porn industry would have funded that development long ago? You'd think they would have moved on from H.323 by now. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

As for the Ram, I've never understood the whole case modding thing. I don't need any lights to tell me if my RAM is fried.

As long as it works I don't care what it looks like. Which might explain why I've had systems built into cardboard boxes on occasion.

If it wern't for gamers demanding mor epower, tehbusiness industry would hv been perfectly happy to have the 486DX2/66 be teh flagship processor for at least 5 years.

Porn, god bless it, gives us bandwdth

Besides, the ram would look dope as hell with a clear side panel, running the liquid cooling clear tubing with with green UV dye added.

I was happy last week to order a nice stick of DDR 3200 (400MHz fsb) with copper heat sinks. 1 GIG. Single stick.

I had big boner.

hey! don't be hatin on the lan gammers, some of us still have baige boxes without the rounded cables, and don't need to overclock for 15 extra fps @ $1500 extra cost, just to have a real solution provided in 3 months for $200

[bobaxos]

it looks like some damn good ram to me. but i am sure it costs an arm and a leg.

[ck3k]

I got a lan party box deal, its real odd, but I mean who needs ram like that get like gkrellm or some windows thingy.

Because any market segment that would buy something like this can NOT be allowed to reproduce, EVER. This is just plain wrong. Wrongwrongwrongwrongwrong. I could understand doing this for CPUs, but... RAM? NOT RIGHT! NO! NEIN! NYET! NON! MAKE! IT! STOP!

Hey where do I get one?

lope
