I see. Achtung Spitfeuer would be more accurate, but we are tongue-in-cheek.
I'm thinking about other typical English words that we Germans misuse. Like saying "handy" to a mobile phone. For me this is a quite interesting subject, I like reading which German words are actually used in other languages. Time for Blitzkrieg. Kindergarten. Bratwurst. Brathering....

Thanx guys, i'll check it out. I have to consider customs too, and i dont want to pay too much either.

I upgraded my mems from 256MB to 512MB, i can put 2GB max, but dont ask the price...

I have a P4 with Rambus memories...
Now i have 2x265 with NON ECC and 2x ECC..
Some mainboards like what i have can combine 2 difference rams.. as long you put the same rams together....

but putting 2x1GB uhmmm lot's of $$$$ and for that money i can buy a new system...
So i wait when Vista comes out.. than i build a custom computer...

I wish you hadn't said this. Now I'm considering upgrading from 1 gig to 2 and trying to come up with ways to fund it.

Damn my suggestability! hee hee hee...

Is the prices that high again!? They keep changing all the time! Last time I bought 1GB of ram it was ~70€. A year ago or so.
