    Thumbs up

    Great prices, we have a computer show here and they usually run like that, but the show is only once per month, so I usually have to buy via Newegg...

    Just give me the alphanumeric off the mem chips and I can tell you probable overclock. The 8500le ships with one of about 6 different memory chips and some are much better than others.

    FPSes and gamepads don't mix. Just pick up an USB Sidewinder for the odd console style game. Cheap and one of the most comfortable ones ever designed for PC.
