Yes, they still do. Got a set from Directron last week for my wife's computer....still had the Micron D9GMH chips under the heatsinks. Thankfully, Buffalo uses thermal tape that doesn't adhere very well until heated for a while....easily pulled off the sticks so you can check.

I've got a pair of Buffalo Firestix DDR2-800 and a pair of Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 sticks on my board...both sets playing quite happily @ 2.1V. Both OC'ing to 900MHz without difficulty or issues. Depends on your board, but your Asus shouldn't have many problems handling mixed RAM as long as...

WRONG!!!! The price you see, the $79.99, is the AFTER $30 REBATE price, not before. You actually pay $109.99 up front, then get a $30 MIR, for an end after MIR price of $79.99. You need to edit your posting.......or eliminate it completely. No better price than what Newegg, Directron...

You left out September in the 30 day list. DUH!

;)

Damned good price on that case....beats that Newegg deal with a stick. No rebates either? Heck, I'd rather pay the $5 or so extra it'll work out to be vs. the Newegg deal to not put up with waiting for months for a rebate to come back. Awesome!! Good find!

Very true. Have bought more than a few of them on visits to ATL.....all the drives were Kingston DataTravelers. They do quite well as trinket gifts and such.

Well, then skip on over to MWave and they have the Q6600 for $279. The price increase at Newegg is just their pricing software....as an item increases in sales in a short period, the price rises. Adjusts to demand on the fly. Cannot feel too sorry if anyone chooses to overpay for something...

Here you go. A wall adapter that converts 110 AC to 12V,2A DC output w/ a single Molex connector on the end. Use a Molex-to-3 pin adapter and you're set. And the beauty part is it's only $10. http://www.jab-tech.com/12v-DC...Connector-pr-3776.html

As for the rebate.....got in on the last one of these sales on this case. The rebate arrived and fairly quickly....not as fast as the Corsair rebate that was sent out the same day, but out of the four rebates sent that day, the Ultra rebate came quicker than all but the Corsair one. As far...

Well, always been curious about other people's RMA experiences with various companies.....and not really speaking of etailers or retailers. Those are another subject. Instead, I'm talking abut the "manufacturers", like OCZ, Corsair, Asus, etc. I really don't RMA much.....have had to very few...

Just got the Woot email this morning. In typical Woot-speak, they said this, and I quote, So, Woot-Off Wednesday night/Thursday morning, or Thursday night/Friday morning? We shall see!!! ;)

Honestly, I've never experienced what you describe and I've moved XP installs from computer to computer with the only piece the same being the hard drive. Moved a hard drive w/XP on it from an AMD Athlon--NF3/250-chipset based computer to an Intel C2D 965-chipset based computer and all that...

I'd take a Lab, too, as long as it came with it's own attention-getter, like the proverbial 2 x 4. Labs aren't exactly the best at paying attention to what you want it to.....it'd rather pay attention to what it wants to, to the complete exclusion of you calling, yelling, standing next to it...

Goldens can be excellent dogs.....provided you understand what you are getting. My wife and her parents bred Goldens for decades for show.......and I finally convinced her to let us get one for ourselves. After we've now had Ginger for four months, I know why she was semi-reluctant to allow...
