My computer has started suffering from BSOD's recently. A memory test reveals that one part of the memory is failing its check by 00000080 each time. Sigh. Luckily Kingston has a lifetime warranty, although I'm probably going to have to deal with a smaller amount of DDR1 while it is being returned to base. Good thing my motherboard supports both DDR1 & 2.

Still, I'm not that happy. I can't wait till the money from my last website comes through and I can get that new motherboard/cpu/memory combo I've been coverting for the past month. At the moment I'm looking at:

Yeah I know its only DDR2 and not DDR3 but DDR3 is so ridiculously expensive!  Once I get a bit richer, I'll probably get a twin brother for my Sapphire HD 3870 Video Card, and a new screen. I quite like the look of this AOC 210V. If anyone has any experience of any of these items I'd be really keen to hear it.

No, I haven't overclocked mine. For some reason the motherboard says my CPU temp is 100 deg! I'm pretty sure it isn't , as there is no smoking hole in my PC, but I'm not going to overclock it if I can't monitor the temperature.

I think in the end I actually got the 3GHz CPU anyway...

Do you get the temperature reading issue?
