PC3700 ram is not a rip off...

I think PC3700/PC4000 is worth it, but not worth the upgrade from PC3500.. But if you have something else like PC2700 then it is by all means worth it...

AMD and Intel both can use PC4000.. Like xDuck with a FSB of 240-250 and at 1:1 that would be around PC4000 rating :)

Now you might dispute that CL2.0 is much better then CL 2.5/3.0.. Well yes that is true, but even with a CL2.5 or 3.0.. The overall bandwidth of PC3700/4000 outweighs CL2.0...

Now if they can combine the two.. That would be one kick butt stick :D

I will update that score in a minute.. Hopefully that is not the score that was PM'ed to me...

I am in good spirits today.. I picked up a new client and I have a fat check for 17 computers!!!! and she even paid a yearly contract for support!!! God I love those!!!

How else can I get money up front.. Its like a prepaid calling card.. If you use it, great.. if not you lose it :D You pay for a 1 year service contract at x amount of hours a month for a discounted rate!!

ROFL

EDIT:
Now what do I want to buy?

Buy an A64 and tell us how it is, and if you don't like it, send it to me as a birthday present :)

I am thinking about that...

Atleast it would stop the annoying AMD fantics from attacking me as a Intel fanboy :)

But I would need to drop some comps.. I dont want #14 :D

C'mon, C man! Get the AMD64FX51 and stop all the AMD fanatics from calling you an Intel lapdog. :p I'm encouraging you 'cause I wanna help you out of this fix.:) *lets out an evil 'MuAhAhAh', C man's gonna be the AMD64 guinea pig, my insidious plan is coming together!*;)

I think it would be easier to get him to get a 2500+ and a Nforce 2 MB, then a high priced AMD64, with Nforce 3 MB.;) :)

He's in the line, so getting the mobo/cpu's not gonna be too costly for him. ;) Don't discourage him now, I want him to be the 64bit lab rat.:p :D

I was trying reverse psychology,:D but look at it this way it will give him a good chance to take over the number one spot if he gets one.:D
