hiya

i built my pc about a year ago now and thinking about some upgrade - 2 things on my mind:
better ram
add a hard drive silencer

for the ram, my motherboard can take ddr3 but I've read mixed reviews on this. .. basically what are my best options with and without overclocking? max £150

for the silencer, scan has this:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=533399

does anyone has an experience with this type of item? is it worth the £

here's the spec:
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
Core 2 Duo E6750
GeForce 8800 GTS (640 MB)
geil 2x1gb pc6400 c4
(running windows xp home)
it's supposed to run any game reasonably smoothly on a 20' screen

if you have further suggestions for upgrades bring it on

thanks

I wouldn't put my hard drive in a box with no fans , just my opinion .

Never be afraid to do your best work and let the

world enjoy it.

Never let someone tell you not to try something because it's stupid.


Turn off the recommended settings.


Break your computer and learn to fix it.
