Usually 2 sticks are marginally quicker & puts less strain than using 4 slots of equivalent memory. Personally, I’d go with any 2GB kit (2x1GB), doubt you’d regularly utilise more than 3GB of memory with your current system.

With the exception of overclocking, there's no real benefit going with faster RAM frequency than what your mobo can support or CPU FSB & in your case that's 400Mhz (assuming you have DDR2 & P4 or better). Although, RAM is quite cheap now so there’s no harm in getting the best 4GB (2x2GB) you can afford, as they are backwards [frequency] compatible & you can always use it in your next system - provided AMD mobo’s don’t also start pushing for DDR3 to become mainstream anytime soon :P.

No madaz it will not.

Your best choice for gaming with a controller on both 360 and PC is to buy a microsoft WIRED xbox360 controller. They are a great controller and work really well on PC.

You can buy the wireless xbox360 controller but then you will also need the wireless receiver.

pkblade when u getting ya 4870???

Finally got it on Tues :D ...went with the MSI's OC version, pretty happy with it so far. Although while I was DL the latest driver I noticed MSI have already released the HD4870X2 OC :). Might wait for prices to go down, currently they're priced $650-750.

So who uses VoIP?

I've been with MyNetFone for quite some time now and really can't fault their service.

Signed up via the MyNetFone whingepool/whirlpool offer. $4.95 per month for 60 free national calls untimed then 10c untimed national and 15c per minute per second billing.

We don't use the phone a great deal but still manage to save a good $80 per month as we often make national and mobile calls.

I'm on the Home Line Budget $19.95 Helstra plan with ADSL2+ from Internode.

For those that are shopping ensure you run a quick traceroute to the sip server you are looking at to ensure the routing isn't stupid from where you are located.

MyNetFone from Internode in Adelaide is ~40ms away with a traceroute you couldn't improve.

Don't buy an ATA device that plugs in to your modem as a lot of modems suffer what is known as a NAT bug; splash out another $40 or so and buy an All in one modem/router/wireless/voip box.

Preferably a billion 740x as they work well and are easy to configure.

i used to use engin for VoIP... service was ok but they were bastards when i went to cancel (having worked in a cancellations call queue with a major ISP i I know whats what with T's & C's, i got his TL on the phone and gave em what for hehhe the dude was highlighted for a "coaching opportunity" LOL ).

I'm also on node adsl2+ wit homeline plus

i had a free zyxel ata that i procured from work.... the GUI is completely counter-intuative on those things

did get delays tho, i tested it bay haveing a mobile fone convo at the same time... it was noticeable

yeah nice work Nick - I remember seeing some of your earlier work on those models and even then they looked the bomb!

Hey Bezender - you need one or 2 of these:

Dual external hard drive case (click)

Benefits

Inbuilt fan - my HDDs stay even cooler than they used to when inside my Matrix VX

Its own power supply

Can take the SuperBox with you and connect it up at a mates place with dual E-Sata for speedy data sharing

One or two of these might be in order too (click)

    • Hey guys! Thanks for the feedback!    it’s got some basic mods currently but it’s been tastefully done  has a z32 Maf and a HKS Mushroom filter an old logo nismo strut brace, splitfire coil packs, braided turbo lines, turbo smart boost controller, walbro 450 fuel pump, sports cat and a reinik cat back exhaust, shock works coilovers, Greddy turbo timer, blitz FMIC, blitz BOV, hard race hicas delete, ebc brakes (front), excedy heavy duty clutch, Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres, and the 33 GTR wheels from memory. i have also had my mate 3D print a gas cap holder for inside the petrol flap haha but she’s very clean underneath (being a paint sprayer of 15 years I did not want to mess around with rust!) and she’s had thousands spent on maintenance over the last few years, she drives like a new car!  my future plans is to do an RB30 rebuild with a 25 head uprated turbo etc etc I’m hoping to start this next year, I’ve just opened a premises for my business so that takes priority at the moment! But overall I’m extremely happy with it!    
    • I'm just being rude. The VQ was developed by Nissan Japan, but it comes from the time when Renault were....ruining what Nissan had been before. Just look at a Nissan Tiida, and tell me that you're not looking at a Renault. In fact, just look at a V series Skyline or Z33 etc and tell me that you're not looking at something Frenchified. I just see the VQ an emblematic of that. It is also a nasty sounding thing. I'm really glad I chose to stay RB and not put a VQ30 in when I did my car. As to the RB30 being Aussie.....arguably it's a bit Aussie.
    • That depends, if the French got it from the Japanese, its Japanese. Or, is the rb30 aussie? Also, wouldn't it be Vq for a junior variant? 
    • As soon as the MAFs are replaced with ones that work properly, if the harness isn't ruined it should run perfectly immediately. 
    • If you haven't already decided on a career, look at being a mechanic, engine reconditioning or mechanical engineering. All 3 will give you different views and levels of knowledge (eg, mechanic is general for the whole vehicle, reconditioning will teach you engine specifics, engineer can design stuff). Or.......find something you love doing, hope its a well paying area and pay someone else to build the car for you. After 20 years of mechanicing, I've lost the passion for working on my own car. It may be different if I had access to a hoist, but it is what it is.
