The first build that I ever owned on my own is the one on my profile page. Everything in that list I paid for with my own money. Every other computer I built before that was for my parents.

Something, something, something, famous quote, computer specs, and stuff...

hey I have a question, I'm on a first time major build and not an OEM upgrade build. I'm trying to figure out if I should fill all my memory slots? or just get bigger memory sticks and just use half the slots?  Is there any difference?
