Nothing, don't use valueselect. Valueselect for a 1GB kit is like $20 cheaper than getting some quality RAM.

what happens if you are on a budget you need to save taht 20 dollars

Yikes, I don't know anything about those, but what you say seems to be all there is to say about it.

EDIT: Actually, I may have heard about these .. the next generation of discs that has huge storage capacity and has some sort of feature that can allow companies to keep people from ripping/copying them right?

~What is all this SATA and IDE talk?"
An IDE hard drive is as good for anything as a SATA drive is. The only difference is that SATA cables are significantly smaller so it helps with cable management.

I just want to add that SATA has faster access time (so i've heard) than IDE.

[majistic]

SATA has faster transfer times, 3GBs.

[PZEROFGH]

sata is like 150mb/s while SATA II is like 3GB/s or something while ide is only 100mb/s or 50mb/s

usually the speed stays around 100mb/s even if you have sata
