Will these two different Corsair sticks run together on my PC?

Thanks, guys. I should have clarified one thing: this is a pair of 4GB sticks.

Will these two different Corsair sticks run together on my PC?

Well, I do run X-Plane 11 with global ultraHD photoscenery. Other programs (video editing etc.) also often push me to the limit. I was mainly curious to get any recommendations on software or monitoring programs that would allow me to see, on a comprehensive basis, whether the ram is performing...

Thanks, guys. I will pop it in and see how it does. ...and speaking of that, how can I objectively/mathematically figure out how much it is actually helping my system?

Power Supply Starts Up UNPLUGGED?

Heh carpet, I get you :) I just had the fan plugged in, and the thing didn't start up. I'm heading to the store, hopefully this is a fix and I don't have a DOA Mobo or even worse CPU/RAM.. I feel like with a dead CPU I'd at least have a post.

Quick question guys: I just put together a new build, keeping only my old PSU. The system turns on for 1 second, but doesn't post and then turns off. Just a minute ago, I unplugged the power cord, and my fan started running--as if the whole system was running for a split second, on current...

HOT: Galaxy GTX 560 Ti + Batman: Arkham City for $184.99 shipped AR @ TigerDirect

Thanks for the tip, picking one up now for a new build. I stopped by the TigerDirect store in Georgia recently; not very impressed with their in-person inventory. Used to buy a lot of stuff from them back in the pre-Newegg days.

Hey Crow, I read through the thread but didn't see what you plan to do for hard drives. What's the plan there? I'm in the process of putting together a new build in my Newegg shopping cart and may end up doing a clone of your build, with a 128 GB SSD and a 750 GB 7200RPM hard drive. Also, on...

Inexpensive Quiet Keyboard

Hello, all. I am looking to buy an inexpensive quiet keyboard and would appreciate any suggestions you might have. The keyboard wouldn't need to have any "special features" such as volume controls or display modules, but I would want it to be reliably responsive. Thanks.

LCD Image Jumping Up and Down

Upgrading from a 7600gt to a 9600gt - Is it a good idea ?

A long time ago I jumped from 7800 GTX to 9600 GT. HUGE performance boost. However, NVIDIA's latest round of drivers are a headache on a lot of the games that I play.
