Possible new computer

Optimal timings are good although overclocking your ram 25mhz should create a better situation.  I am currently running cas 2.5 with no issues at the speed i have so you shouldnt have to sacrifice to much with the timings.

Yeah, I just hope I can get it enough juice to keep the timings and overclock a little. Since Anand was able to give it so much voltage, he could do both, and the ram was astonishing stable to high overclocks.

Edit: BTW, definitely ordering tonight.

Pretty good I think. Already have Hard Drive, Case, and PSU, so I should be all set. The wireless keyboard and mouse as well as the wireless card are all for the living room, which my current HP will be used for. I will let you all know either how great it turns out, or come here seeking assistance.

Cars,
Looks like it should be great.
Good luck with your first.
