I know my college has like 120/110 or something. That's nice. 8)

I wouldn't count it as the rule - I live in a university city after all. Speeds are pretty great. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2179588941.png

You sir make me jealous of those speeds! Only thing I'm happy about it Charter doesn't enforce data caps here since I use 1-3TB a month on average lol.

I'm about to start looking for a new one. After so many years, my old Logitech G5 feels like it's finally about to break.

Your mouse has issues with double clicking and you are looking at the brand most commonly associated with double clicking mice? Not sure I would recommend that.

Eh, it is fixable.

Its ultimate demise will be able to be postponed, yes.

But nothing will work forever.

I'm probably just going to stick with Logitech. From what I've seen over the years, most Logitech stuff is pretty solid, and my old G5 has been really awesome. It's been several years, and I've only recently started having headaches with it. Mostly things like buttons sticking and the little sensitivity setting button not staying put. Probably nothing that couldn't be fixed with a good cleaning / disassembly, but I CBA.

I've heard good things about the Logitech G502 Proteus Core and am looking pretty hard at it.

Yeah, it's pretty neat. Always preferred Belarc Advisor myself though.

While I realised this even back when I started trying to overclock on z87, my memory is not stable. Like, at all.
They are rated for 9-9-9-24 @ 1600 MHz with 1.5v.
They're not even stable for 9-9-9-24 @ 1333 MHz with 1.5v . :|
They are holding me back. I'm running them 9-9-9-24 @ 1333 with 1.65 anyway, and that seems to work out. Mostly.
So I can't really overclock my CPU further and the RAM is basically what is holding me back from pushing it, as it is what is producing instability.

Blargh.
I just wanted to get that out of my system.

[DeltrusDisc]

Are we talking BSOD instability or just makes it a bitch to turn the computer on?

I've had both. First was a pair of Kingston sticks, one went bad after about a year.

Then ever since I put a pair of 1.5v 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 Crucial 8GB sticks in my old P67 i5-2500K system, I ALWAYS have to press the memOK! button on the motherboard to get it to boot up right. -.-

[BicycleMafioso]

BSODS and rebooting without even BSODs. Them turned down eliminates the problem. It's only present when I have four DIMMs installed, furthering my scorn toward occupying all of them, but that's what I have to work with. :P I'd rather 12 unstable dual channel than 8 stable dual channel, especially if I can get them stable by just downclocking.

so far i'm liking spartan, once they get extensions and bookmarks added i'll probably be dropping chrome

That gives me a great amount of hope.
I have been dissatisfied with browsers in general after Opera updated away its greatness.

Triple cheese burger!
I kind of want a download manager like DTA on Firefox =\. Way too useful for me.

The memory consumption though.
