Hi,

I just placed an order for a new PC - I can still cancel/change that if I screwed something up - but what do you thing of the following stuff?

P35-NEO2-FIR motherboard from MSI, http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func ... incat_no=1 - intel ICH9r chipset (so if motherboard decides to fry itself, RAID5 should be compatible with newer Intel motherobards)
E8500 Core 2 Duo, 3,16 GHz
Gefore 8800 GTS, Asus
Antec P182 case
Ninja SCNJ-1100P CPU cooler
4 gig DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 memory stick (what do the last four numbers mean?)
4x750 GB Samsung SATAII HDDs, into a RAID5.

(I'm paying about 1500 EUR for this pile - it includes 22% VAT though)

looks nice. the numbers are the latency of the memory. i think mine is 4-4-4-12 which is faster. if you can get CL4 memory it would be better.

but overall looks nice. i like the look of those new cpus too

Finally you will see that Shattrath is actually not laggy at all, it was just in your mind.

Looks really nice, and the numbers are the search time for the RAM.. so the lower numbers the better
