You are confused merlin. The ram sucks, so downgrade someother small parts.
ie
get a $100 case and save $51
What makes you think it sucks
Just because it is a budget brand
Cause I can tell you that I upgraded from 2x256mb DDR333 of cheapo ass Kingston RAM, to $220 2x512mb DDR400 GeIL, and it made almost mil difference
It's nice to have the best RAM, cause it does look mighty pretty, but it makes probably the smallest difference in performance of any component
You simply do not need $250 RAM for CS, its no practical, he is not gonna be OCing heavily
This is a budget build here, thats why he is not buying a X800 Pro or AMD64, don't you understand that
He would nearly double his performance with either of those components, ALOT more then RAM will ever do, but it would double the price of the components he is getting now
Saying I am "confused" and that the ram "sucks" is a horrible argument
