Thanks Thanh Phan.  This is especially good because this is the system I wanted previously but was burned by a competitor before I knew DS existed.  I wasted some time and money but am looking forward to being on board with DS for a long time.  You guys gotta get the word out better!  Clap

you should ask them for the fans for the ram, it comes with over clocking the ram but if you don't want to do that you can ask them just for the fan, it will cost you less then OCing the ram

Fans just to vent heat from the ram?  Is it just a couple of fans right on the sticks?  It's actually shipped already so I'd have to have DS send it out and install it.  I wasn't sure OCing the RAM would do a ton for me??

Yes, look forward to a review.  Unless I'm too busy and absorbed in some games to post a review.  Wink
