    P4 2.4c and DDR 433 Memory Question

    On another note, Since this motherboard seems to have issues with certain memory chips at multipliers other than 1:1, should I just look to get some RAM that will run at my overclock at 1:1 Right now I am only running at 250FSB and granted, I would like a little more than that but there is...

    P4 2.4c and DDR 433 Memory Question

    Yeah, after reading some more on the ABit boards, it appears they are very touchy with memory at dividers other than 1:1. The PNY definitely doesn't have BH-5 chips which seem to be the ones that actually work above 250FSB at 3:2 and 5:4. On that note, I have heard that the Mushkin PC3500...

    P4 2.4c and DDR 433 Memory Question

    Ok, here is the deal. Before I ordered the memory I really wanted online I picked up one stick of PNY PC3500 DDR433 Memory from CompUSA to see what the potential of my system is. The current memory that I have is Crucial PC2700 DDR333 Memory so I was stuck around the 3.0 GHz mark by using a...

    *Hot* - Maxtor 120GB 5400RPM External @ Staples: $97.50, $77.50 AR, possibly less

    There *IS* a valid, printable 30 off 150 coupon available. It can be found at another site similar to this one by searching for "staples coupon". There is also a 20 of 100 printable coupon but it expired on the 31st although there have been reports that some Staples took in anyway...

    Ok.... so a code can be modified and accepted BUT who said anyone was doing it? I am certainly not modifying codes and I don't think anyone else is either. ONe person said that the guy took the online code of 30 off 100 which does exist... that is not fraud.... another peron had the person...

    Who said anything about fraud?!? I don't think anyone modified anything.... some people are just getting lucky that the cashier is either taking the online coupon codes (which they can and sometime have done) or they are accepting an expired coupon. Neither of which are fraud, if that...

    RebatesHQ is the processing center for many rebates. If they say there is a rebate, it is usually good. You are correct... if you can't get the 30 off 100 to work, it would be about 60 dollars. Some people have had luck getting staples to take the 30 dollar online coupon.. others have not.

    Agreed! Same here, went through about 4 of them here in Atlanta. I got lucky with the first one but I wanted to get one for my father so I tried 3 others. Nonetheless, he found one in PA for him so it all worked out. ;)

    *Hot* - Maxtor 120GB 5400RPM External @ Staples: $97.50, $77.50 AR, possibly less

    I got one at the Duluth (Atlanta, GA) store right at about 12 when they opened. None of the others had any that I could find. I also told my father about it and he got one in Allentown, PA. I didn't push my luck with the 30 dollar coupon though. QUite happy with 105 out the door. Good...

    Internal, external. Yeah, missed that internal part... since the original post was about a 120GB External drive I guess I assumed, rather than actually reading, it was an external. :o

    Dude, according to the Staples website there is a $30 rebate on those 40GB 5400RPM External USB2 drives. I don't know if this is the *EXACT* model you got but check it out here. Doh, I should have read, rather than assumed. He said internal drive... just assumed external USB since that is...

    (Dead) Cendyne DVD-R/RW Drive "$149.99" AR & coupon at OfficeMax

    Hmmm, I don't think this is the appropriate place to be asking your illegal pirating questions. In the future, you would probably want to ask the same question in regards to backing up things you already own. Making copies of your friends movies is quite illegal... no matter whether you can...

    Dimension 8200 P4 1.8 GHz PC800 RDRAM 64MB Video Card System for just $654 @ Dell Home (after $75 coupon & rebate)

    Not to pick nits but the next version of RDRAM is PC1066, not PC1600. PC1600 is a DDR standard. PC800 = 2 x 400MHz FSB, PC1066 = 2 x 533MHz FSB.
