My first custom system

[mozzartusm]

Either you missed my point all together or I didnt do a good job of getting it across"Probably the latter". Rebates have nothing to do with good money management, other than the savings part. The savings is somewhat important to me. Im not getting into the argument about why a company gives a rebate. I don't care why they give it, all I am concerned about is getting my rebate. Now as to people not sending in their rebates on time "Who's fault is that?". I'm not so sure that there is really anything wrong with giving a rebate based on the fact that most people won't send them in. Sounds like good marketing strategy to me. As long as they issue checks to people that send in the forms, then they are doing nothing wrong. I dont have any sympathy for someone that doesnt manage their personal business any better than that. One thing that I wont argue about, is that there are rebates that are down right bogus, but I very seldom run into this, so the Law Of Large Numbers is very much in my favor here. One more thing about the money management issue. After losing my butt "Do you know how screwed up it is to lose your butt? It really hurts when you sit down!" 10 years ago due to excessive spending, I learned the hard way what good money management is. Ten years ago, my credit was so bad that I couldnt have borrowed a cup of sugar. Today, I have no bills other than the very basic ones (Power, Water ect). My vehicle, and my home are paid for and on top of that my credit is good again. Im not try to toot my on whistle here, I know how it feels to be on both sides of this fence. So there you have it, and like the great Forrest Gump once said "That's ALL I have to say about that!"

How does this <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-450&depa=1" target="_new">RAM</A> compare to the other value stuff? How much better will it OC?

Are you referring to another brand, or one of Corsairs top of the line modules

 

[Lonely]

The one in the link in my post. It's PC3200 1GB Corsair XMS series as opposed to the Value stuff.

Check to see what the price diff is between the XMS 3200 and the XMS 4000. That is if PC4000 is compatible with your system. When I ordered mine, the 4000 was not much more than the 3200. All I can say for sure is that the 4000 hits some very good benchmarks.

Yeah, I see that too. But they may follow thru, just keep on the stick about it for best results. Email, email, email...

Your right, I have been and will continue to do so. It still hasnt been long enough for me to have received mine. I am going to worry the hell out of them though. Maybe they will get tired of hearing from me!
