Splendid work Admiral. Sigma team is years behind us in technology. Now I must try to upgrade Le SpiderMonX0r. Perhaps he needs 2GB of Infineon RAM :D

Anyone else upgrade lately?

I feel quite inadequate. However, it makes little sense to spend money now when I will be away from it for a good 4 or 5 months. But again one day I will rise form the ashes to compete... but if you have extra RAM...

The Ch0xor is getting the Infineon stuff, but then I'll have an extra gig of Corsair Value Select sitting around. I was going to sell it to someone here, but if you want it... I'll let you know after we do the RAM swap... It will be uber-cheapen for you. I wouldn't charge at all, but I just bought $250 worth of RAM for my PC.
