Vista public BETA released
WMD:
I have yet to have anything from Newegg fail on me. This includes the ~$800 computer I put together two years ago. You seem to be misguided.

Besides, I was going for reliability not cheapness ... got my prices from froogle, not the cheapest, but something more reliable. As in the hardware won't break soon after you buy it as has happened to me several times when buying cheap ... now I only buy things that are not as cheap, but more reliable.

Erm...Saphire is signle handedly ATI's biggest and most reliable manufacturer, look around. Antec power supplies are amongst the highest rated, OCZ is known around the globe as pretty much the ultimate ram manufacturer, Wester Digital is reliable Athlon 64 3500s are awsome CPUs, MSI makes kickass mobos and BenQ is nearly the largest maker of DVD drives. Even google everything...

XGL and Aero have nothing to do with RAM. They have to do with the video card installed.
You could always splurge and spend the $20 bucks it would take to uprgade your system from 256 to 512 RAM. ;)

That's insane. Vista will not cost $450.00.

ATI and reliable should not be in the same sentence.
My definition of reliability is that a component last without major problems for at least 10 years under normal use.
2 major companies that fail this are Creative and ATI ... and many cheap ones as well, I remember there was a cheap HDD that broke in 2 weeks, and other components you might find say in a Compaq. You get what you pay for ... cheap is cheap.
