recently got :
shuttle sd37p2
8800 gts 320mb
2gb corsair value select ram (667mhz)
e6600 c2d
maxtor hard drive (250gb)
vista ultimate
my questions are....
will the ram slow my system down because they are at 667mhz and not 800mhz?
is the e6600 worth the £65 extra over the e4300?
is the maxtor worth replacing? heard they have a bad rep?
is vista ultimate worth the £60 over vista premium?
is the 8800 gts 320mb worth the £90 over a x1950pro?
i've not built this yet but i'm feeling i may change a few things
any advise you can give me guys?
looking for best bang for buck.
thanks

Some people say they are really unreliable too, although the few that I've owned have lasted for a decade with no problems at all - apart from being hot. They where quiet tho (even although they are 7200rpm disks). But if you can change your order, or if you haven't got them yet, then it would be better to go for Seagate, Western Digi, or Samsung. Or basically anything besides Maxtor. But if you have them already, don't worry. Just make sure you back up any important data - which you should do no matter what hard disk you have.
