I never received any e-mails from rebateshq, but both of my are listed on the website as approved :)

I'm using Agent v1.93 as my newsreader program and can't believe how much it fragments my hard drive (86% after just a few days of use). I have it running on a 60gb drive by itself and use the same drive to store my downloaded attachments. I don't recall it being this bad in the past, but...

Quick update on the 5/25 WD 120gb deal. Checked the status of my $30 OM rebate and it says Your rebate is valid and is in the final stages of processing and should be sent to you within the next 30 days. Sounds like those who went through the initial pain of getting this processed correctly...

From what I've read, anything above 128 doesn't really change performance all that much. I believe 64 or 128 is the way to go. There's a good explanation of this here http://www.rojakpot.com/ Look under the graphic subsystem heading in the BIOS optimization guide

3.4 Catalyst drivers are the latest and they can be found on ATI's site ATI Drivers I believe the drivers should be installed first, then the control panel, but others may care to comment on that.

I would have to agree as well. I too have the 9700-tx card from Dell and mine runs quite well on my P2.4 and 768mb of PC2700 memory. I am also running the ATI 3.2 catalyst drivers. Upon doing a drive reformat and fresh XP install, I tried running the 3.4 drivers. Everything was running fine...

No, I have never tried submitting the e-mailed invoice for a rebate claim. When you spoke with the OM CSR, did you ask them if they could fax you a copy of your receipt? I know Staples does this so maybe OM will as well.

I do see this description for the WD rebate, but not the OM one.

What would purchasing PC equipment be without rebates :) I now wish I would have taken the snail-mail method as well, but hopefully I won't get burnt. I've had really good luck with rebates coming back to me so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the streak will continue. I guess the awesome...

You're exactly right. I'm afraid the problem is that when you submit the rebate online, the RebatesHQ form might only list the 2mb model. I'll have to look at the printout when I get home. I would hope that between the wording on the actual OM rebate form and the way the ad was ran with both...

I'll share my experience with the 3.4 drivers and UT2003. This past weekend I did a fresk install of XP home and loaded the 3.4 drivers from scratch. Upon running UT2003 on the latest patch, the game would load and I could get to the main welcome screen, but when I tried to play an actual map...

This better not hold up. I thought about this when submitting online and wondered if I should have just sent the normal OfficeMax form in. Their form made no distinction between which model was valid. I did include that form to bolster my case should it be challenged. The ad clearly showed...

What is DMA?? Do you mean the IDE setting for the hard drive??

Thanks Dan.

I'm in the process of preparing a new 120gb for use and wondered if it made a difference which application I used to format the drive? I already partitioned the drive into 2 partitions via the XP setup process, but wondered about formatting the second partition. Is using Partition Magic just...
