I have the 6 mbit, it said I don't qualify. B

Geez, a lot of complaining on this thread... It's a good deal compared to what the exact same product from Omaha normally costs. What's next, are vegetarians going to start posting here, "Steak sucks....eat salads"? Maybe we should go to all the threads about nitrogen-cooled Corsair memory and...

Actually, mine basically did... Also a refurb, bought it from NewEgg about a month ago for about $130. It was a Gigabyte 6600GT. Works like a charm.

My KN1 Extreme is running fine, with one problem -- when I try to send the system to standby, I get to the blue "Preparing to stand by..." screen, and the system locks up. I am starting to suspect the nVidia firewall, since everyone else is starting to have problems with it. :) At one point...

In case anyone is following this, here's what happened. I put the two sticks in slots 3&4 (as opposed to 1&2), and the system again detected dual channel, but without the lockup problems. Though after I played WoW for an hour or so, I had problems with the application crashing. Since this...

I just got an ECS KN1 Extreme nForce4 Ultra board. I installed 2 512 MB sticks of RAM (not identical) in the first two slots. Since the two sticks of RAM are from different manufacturers, I didn't expect dual channel to be enabled, but it was. System runs mostly OK, but freezes relatively...

I ordered an 8600 last week, received yesterday. I got the free 40GB hard drive upgrade, but Windows shows it to be 33.6 GB. I know all about the different definitions of Megabytes, etc., and I know that some vendors put stuff on a hidden partition, but is it right to be missing 6 GB??? I...

Does anyone know if this can be PM'ed somehow to Best Buy? I have a lot of Best Buy gift cards to use. Even to get the system and NFL Street would be super hot. Brian

Just a bump for this thread.... I wasn't going to buy LOTR (waiting for the deluxe edition), but for free... :) I went to the Kia dealership on Belair road in Baltimore, and basically told them that I wasn't interested in buying, I just wanted the DVD. They gave me the certificate without...
