Check to see if they have a price matching policy.

That shipping adds up... a LOT. You might spend 20-40 dollars just shipping some thing like a motherboard. You never know.

Tiger Direct is VERY reasonable on shipping.. and if you buy several items at once, shipping is WAY less.

Most places charge $25-30 for UPS ground shipping on a case... TD will charge $8-10

NewEgg tells you how much the shipping is right on the page the product's listed on. And if you can stuff more in one box, it's cheaper.

I prefer mwave.com myself. I live in Florida and the tax alone makes it too expensive to buy from Tiger but they almost never have the best price on stuff anyway. Mwave can get stuff here in two days for less than I have to pay tiger for a ground shipment.

You didnt really mean to say that Corsair memory is dual core did you? (I knew what you did mean)

You have to disable one of the cores when playing AH, from what I understand. Unless you use Win2K. I don't think there are any issues with it. It's more of an OS issue than a CPU issue, but to fix it you have to disable part of the CPU (only when flying AH).

That's what I've learned reading these forums. I've got a single-core m'self.
