You Learned Well Our Young Padawan... You have now become a Jedi Knight, some more studying & additional real world experience & won't be too long before your a Master

seriously, not bad, I didn't see the first list of parts, but from the few comments & the new list, not bad at all, still a tad bit of improvement, but this list is far more well balanced & properly selected than past ones were

DDR2 won't be "Dead" for at least a good year or two, it will be sentenced to Death row, but not put in the chair just yet...

Can't drive anywhere over 60? maybe by you, but some of us live in states with highways with 65 as the limit, as well as many law enforcement agencies who may let many motorists get away with a bit more on those said roads... add in roads that are known to be "low" priority for law enforcement patrols, as long as the state your in doesn't have a ban on Radar Detectors (not sure how Wisconsin is on the use of those?), drops the chances of getting caught WAY down, if your using one of those on an open straight "barren" roadway... still a small chance of getting caught, but not nearly as likely. (one of the benefits of living in a more rural area of the state with a major highway & a county with a very small number of Sheriff deputies & minimal local Police forces...)

anyways, could also always take it to the local airport & get permission to make a few runs down the mile long runways...

back on topic, as to Intels new lineup, yeah that'll be happening, but it'll be several months before the new platform & lineup filters down to all the other budget ranges of systems, as well as before AMD offers their competing lineup adding to the mess of new platforms... once that has happened, then you can almost certainly say DDR2 is dead. right now we're approaching the calm before the storm before DDR3 is really here, just like just before DDR went out & DDR2 came in, if you remember DDR2 was around for awhile before it really hit big.

anyways, still, Oldfolks, not a bad list indeed. few tweaks, mainly personal preference tweaks, & would be a great list... but as it stands now, not bad at all.
