(13:51:52) (hx^Rapt6rr) normaly, me and my cousin had
to go out with some of his mates, but it didnt work out, so we went with my mum
and his mum to thier party...
(13:52:38) (hx^Rapt6rr) the party was ok, very good food, nice
house and blablabla, i thought the ppl were abit stranged but i didnt say anything
(13:53:23) (hx^Rapt6rr) there were many many men, i was like:
ok ok, thier wife is celebrating appart and they just want to be with thier old mates
(13:53:46) (hx^Rapt6rr) but when the middnight bell rang, i saw
the men kisssing eachother :x
(13:53:52) (hx^Rapt6rr) infact, most of them were gays
(13:54:23) (hx^Rapt6rr) then they starting dancing and stuff

Never forget.

i5 seems decent enough if you don't want to do some hardcore OCing. I don't have any experience with GeIL memory, but 6 (or 4 even) seems like more than enough. The motherboard is fine as you don't need any fancier P8P67 if you're not going to connect more than 2 SSDs or SATA3 drives, run RAID or install four SLI cards.

Dont know if you know about Sandy Bridge DRM. I dont know about it much but from what I have read... dont know will I buy Intel Sandy Bridge... though.. is there any option, because I think AMD will have the same. :(

2nd case and I'm waiting for AMD's Bulldozer processor personally, and probably AMD's new Llano chips when my laptop finally needs replacing lol
