I got them from here: http://www.vibecomputers.com/index.cfm?loc=hardware&if=y&mcat=05&scat=05&dcat=03


However it seems they recently raised the $! I ordered them about a week and a half ago.

I think the 'Neweggs' for Canada is definately these two stores.....

www.dangeo.com

www.vibecomputers.com

I like dangeo personally because they will price match any item from canada. Plus you have to love saving on the PST!

looks nice. all youll need is a volt mod, and you will be fine. bignuttz has 2x256 of corsair 3500 running at like ddr 470+ at fast timings, with the volt mod, or aks 5:4 strap at 295fsb.:eek:

yup, saves quite a bit if you order a lot. Not worth the trouble if you could get small items locally.

a volt mod seems difficult and risky... Why is it necessary? do a lot of people do it? How far would I be able to get without the mod?

How far would I be able to get without the mod? its simple. the only soddering is away from the board. once you have the pot set up, you use a grabber to get on to the pin you need, and you can screw the ground to the main board. you just need to set the mem voltage with a multi meter, and then your set. not risky at all, and when you try your mem without the mod, you will see.;)

the p4p800 can set the ram to 2.85v... is that not enough?
