Buying a New Computer.

how is 4 lower than 3? Did I miss a day at elementary school?

Did you look at the link I gave you?
Here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16820145033

The scores are as following-
2 Stars
4 Stars
5 Stars
4 Stars
5 Stars

4-4-4-5
vs.
3-4-3-9

3 is faster then 4 but why are you ignoring the 9?

I'll use a Neanderthal comparison:
3+4+3+9 = 19
4+4+4+5 = 17

Thats not the memory card that Im suggesting that you get... youre looking at the 1066MHz Corsair, Im looking at the 800MHz Corsair. This one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145035

The Neanderthal comparison doesnt exactly work in this instance... the Cas Rating of the GSkill is 4... the Cas Rating of the Corsair is 3. Its rated the fasted card on the market.

Ok I need to go now something popped up.
Thanks for the help and I would be glad if some people would write some more thoughts about the rig I was offered by the store or just propose a new rig.

I'll have time to discuss about his again tomorrow.

I see your point Daut, but I think Front Side Bus and memory speed are two different things...I think

- 1066/800MHz
- Dual-channel DDR2 800/667/ 533 max 8GB

Front Side Bus

1066/ 800 MHz

Memory

Dual channel memory architecture
4 x 240-pin DIMM sockets support max. 8GB DDR2 800/ 667/ 533 ECC and non-ECC memory
Intel MPT (Intel Memory Pipeline Technology)
ASUS Hyper Path3
