Lol. I've personally ordered from 2 of the 4 companies that sell it for <= newegg's price, with absolutely no problems. While AGOIA stepping may be a relevant factor, do you _know_ that the ones newegg is selling are this revision? Or are you just guessing? It's nice that newegg has a relatively long 30-day warrenty, but another company listed on pricewatch (smk components, who I have also ordered from in the past) costs $2 more and has a 60-day warrenty.
again, I'm not saying this isn't a good purchase, even worth remarking, but to classify it as a "hot deal" is silly, and the amount of excitement over this is amusingly absurd. perhaps there is a good reason to be excited, but no one has explained it to me.
werk: you're calling me a n00b? just because I only recently signed up for AT forums does not in any way indicate my computer experience.... I've been reluctant to sign up for these boards to their extreme scarcity of accurate technical information, even the "highly technical" board is filled with misguided inaccuracies. i don't want to start a debate over the relative merits of the AT forum, and I won't condescend to try and justify my non-"n00b" status, but your insulting comment appears to be indicative of extreme ignorance and misplaced elitism. I think it's pathetic that you merely dismiss my point, a point that has yet to be, in my opinion, reasonably refuted. it would serve you well to actually consider arguments before dismissing them irrelevant.
