Broadway Rig almost finished!

Got the new Mushkin Silverline 2x2GB RAM today. Installed it into the system, re-overclocked the new CPU to 2.8GHz (has the same multiplier as a E6300 unfortunately), and did a Memtest86+ full test. No problems! Finally things are starting to look up on these builds. After verifying with 2 passes with Memtest86+, I was sure that the system was working 100% on the RAM. Right now, I'm working on defragging the hard drive and then doing a Prime95 balanced stress test for 24 hours to verify that the system is ready to go. If everything goes smoothly from here on out, I'll be able to give the new rig to my friend when he comes out this week. Not too much else to say right now, still need to mail out the DOA drive back to NCIX (haven't gotten around to printing off a prepaid label through Canada Post yet) but once I get the new drive back, hopefully everything will go smoothly for the Reiter rig at that point. Other than that, not much else occurred over the last couple days, but hopefully by the end of the week I'll have some stuff sorted and be ready to return to work after being off since October 2011 due to a back injury. Sorry, no pictures at this time of the replaced RAM, but it looks the same as the old Mushkin RAM (same heat-sinks on the individual RAM sticks), so nothing really visually new in the Broadway system.
