    The newer MSi boards are good.

    If you E-mail Thermalright,they probably would sell you the bracket for a few quid

    when i was in America the dollar was quite weak too and i didnt think the B&M shops over there were competitive with online shops over here. Remember VAT is added at the counter, in New york its an extra 9% or something

    Good for accesries though (laptop bags, keyboards etc)

    4 sticks for €40?! God they're all desperate to get rid of the old 1066MHz crap :p

    Is there any dirt-cheap 1333MHz stuff there? ;)

    And 2x2GB >>> 4x1GB. Far less pressure on the mobo and the CPU (where the memory controller is now hiding). Plus you'd get better OC results; tolerances have to be a lot looser when you're playing with 4 individual sticks :o

    *looks at Komplett* Jaysus! RAMs now ~€25/GB! Haven't seen that since, oh, late 2006? :eek:

    Seriously, the prices have just bounced up even further. This is really getting double-plus unfunny now guys, you're going to make the sector crash... :mad:

    well i wont be overclocking it right away ill let it burn it first so it will do me hopefully until ram goes back down or i get a bit more cash behind me surely the four sticks will be better than the 1 two gig komplete were going to give me and it will also then give me the option of choosing a http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=576878
