RAM brand doesnt matter, id consider gettin 4 gig thou, makes all the difference with vista Definitely get a branded PSU, look up the one in my sig, i highly recommend it hope that helps |

| 736695 | 2009-01-10 09:31:00 | i doubt its that, i had a surge protected box until i moved approx a year ago and i lost 3 of them before the move. I think im just extremely unlucky cos ive had about everything die for no apparent reason at some point |
