    Just wondering, would the difference in these two memory timings make much of a difference? 2.5-3-3-8 2-2-2-5 I mean, I know the latter is better, but is the difference really that significant?

    If you want the current top of the line, it makes virtually no different in the chip that you chose: http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/06/01/10/0620218.shtml?tid=142&tid=137

    First post, and I'm gonna use it to say this: if you have a decent virus scanner, this exploit has been fixed for awhile. Slashdot posted something about this exploit almost 3 weeks ago, if not longer. One of the links I found while reading up on the exploit lead to a site that had a test wmf file (it would launch code to restart your computer (shutdown -r) if it wasn't protected against it). Any modern and up-to-date virus scanner would catch the malicious wmf file and nothing would happen. However, I will say that it is good that M$ is finally releasing an update to fully protect us from this exploit, though. Also, on side notes, I have read in a single location (so it's a rumor at best) that Linux distributions have had this problem fixed for 2 years now. Also, any OS running Wine is completely open to this exploit as the idiots who wrote Wine implemented the entire WMF API into the application... no limitations included. PS: if you want a good & detailed description of this old, outdated exploit and the test file I was talking about go here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1759903
