The keys are for the *cough* evaluation version *cough* that is doing the rounds, not the demo version.

I know what you mean about switching back to 'inferior' games after a bit of BF2... I find it funny to go back to the original CS, although IO can only play that briefly now before it starts doing my head in.

I have no idea what sticks in my pc and I wont be fanciying opening it until I have my other stick, its green with black chips 512mb ddr 400mhz ram.

I think its Samsung but what exactly do you need to know, cant I just buy another 512mb 400mhz ddr stick and use it along side the pre-existing one?

Yeah - but sticking to the same brand is advisable.

What's so bad about opening the case up? Mine's permently open at the moment because my CPU cooler is knaff and running very hot (up to 79 degree's a few nights ago :O), Cooling it down with a desktop fan intermittantly lol

CBA to start a new thread - anyone reccomend a decent cooler for under ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£15 ?

look in the bios to find out the ram latency,if its cas2 or 2.5 look for some low latency ram to match it ,if its not low then I would buy some kingston or similar nothing to fancy

The settings are set to automatic.

I dont fancy changing stuff about in the bios all I have disabled upto now is the cool n quiet control.

Open case (with power off), remove RAM, put into antistatic bag/wrap in tinfoil, take to shop, show to oik behind counter, ask for another the same.

Can't think what you mean

After all you use foil for cooking, so why not fry your RAM in it!
