    Why not PC3200 DDR instead of the PC2700?

    If that bothers you we can take you out of the raffle. Pure and simple.

    No, it doesn't bother me at all, I was just curious. PC2700 can work just as well as PC3200.

    //EDIT-- Say if I do win, I would just put my Corsair PC3200 into the system and run the 333FSB AlthonXP Barton at 400FSB with the PC3200.

    Yeah, that's funny.. I won the freakin' lotto the other day, and I called the State of Michigan and said "What? Only 2.6 million? Why not an even $3million?"

    They hung up on me and I never got my money.
    :rolleyes:

    There's no pleasing some people. Just kidding. I'm thinking it's because PC2700 is less expensive than 3200, or because the admins frown on overclocking (yeah right!).

    Self affirmation is a good thing, Thrax.
    Hopefully you'll still have a positive outlook win I'm declared the winner. :D

    Oh, this would come in so handy...

    If you do this like the NBA draft lottery, and give people with the worst gear a better chance, I ought to have it made!:p

    Uh huh....need I point you to Detroit this year..we were (L)eastern
    conf. champs for the regular season and we got the 2nd draft pick(Darko Milicic).

    So by this I deduce I will win the prize! Not the best hardware on here, but certainly better than the worst!

    No - I need the ram, too! I was going to offer to come to Detroit and clean the dust bunnies out of that server farm he's got going there.

    I'd like to suggest that instead of raffling off that very nice set of computer gear, Short-Media give it to the religious charity of their choice. As I am a man of God and my very own charity (we'll leave the religious part out of this discussion), I'd be happy to take it and provide Short-Media with the appropriate tax deductible receipt.

    My address is :

    Preacher
    Attn: Contentious Man of the Cloth
    777 Hallelujah Lane
    City of Holiness, State of Grace 77777

    666 Torment Ave
    Satan, CA 66666

    Wow, I am touched by Preacher's selfless offering. I am cancelling the whole contest, so you can all feel better now about the contribution that Preacher has made for all of you.. Be sure to let him know how thankful you are!

    I wonder if making that sort of promise would help win me the parts...

    If i had a barton, i would make sure it folds 24/7!
