Hey Brad, will that 48 gb you want to use for ramdisk be 100% volatile ram or will you be using something else? I guess what I really want to know is how would you deal with a sudden power loss? Is it gone at that point? Thanks.

Critical user files will always be on my RAID5 hard drive setup. The OS and 1 or 2 of the current games I use will be on a disk image loaded into the ramdisk at boot. A save state will be written to the disk image file at shutdown and at intervals throughout the day. There are 2 or 3 enterprise level ramdisk utilities that should allow this sort of setup. The possibility of hosing up the OS install with a crash or power outage often might occur, but as it's loading up a disk image at boot, I wouldn't lose much.

OK, past week or so these are the items I paid for.... 3rd ACER monitor to match my current two (not the all time best but they look damn good and work very well) Triple Monitor Mount 2 of Muskie32's 3gb 580 Hydro Copper 2 cards EK HF CPU block from Jingiko (still need fittings and stuff) Nex's Classy MOBO and the Mushkin ram (came with an Antec Kuhler for nothing) Got mom some Silverware (Onieda's havin some liquidation thing so 200 original for 50 something ain't bad for mom) Also got mom and myself some security. She don't trust the neighbors and some things have come up missng lately from inside the house, mostly due to my sister. Long story there so meh.

$1400 and AMD don't play well together in my mind. You should be able to get a superior Intel setup for that. Anyway I bought keycaps and more keycaps just for a little bit of customization.
