Crucial Bling Bling Ram

Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB DDR2 PC2-6400

These Modules are rated for 800MHz at 4-4-4-12-2T timings at 2.2v. That's considered a high performance low latency kit for those of you unfamiliar with DDR2 ratings. DDR2 has a default voltage ratings of 1.8v, but most high performance DDR2 will require anywhere from 2.1v - 2.3v to achieve lower timings especially.

Intel Quad Core

Intel Quad Core Processor Q6600 2.4Ghz

Oh My Quad! The Q6600 is a 2.4GHz chip, like its little brother the E6600. Both CPUs are nearly identical and use the same die(s), except that the Q6600 has two of them. Essentially, everything is doubled. Twice the cores, twice the cache and twice the drool. Like the other Core 2 Duos, Core 2 Quads are based on a 65nm process, although the process requires a slightly higher stock voltage. Prices expected to go down after july 22 2007 , Latest news : The G0 Stepping would be 95W (10Watts lesser) and hopefully abit cooler.

Clock Speed : 2.4Ghz
FSB : 1066Mhz
L2 Cache : 4MB x 2
TDP : 95W
Cores : 4

Samsung 26" LCD Tv

Samsung 26" LCD Tv (LA26R71B)
Considering to get this Tv to pair up with PS3/Xbox Elite/Oppo DVD Player in future.

3000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio

Wide Viewing Angle 176/176

10-Bit Signal Processing

1366 x 768

HDMI x2, PC Input


The reason i'm going for this "HD Ready" only Tv instead of a Full HD Panel is that i dont see much games coming out on FullHD, most of them are released at 720p format except for BD/HD-DVD movies. And 26" is just nice to put on my ikea jerker table and enough for my room. Anyway, still have an eye on that BenQ 24" Full HD LCD...
