    Great price and I have used Mushkin Ssd drives. I used to use a lot of their ram too and had good luck with it.

    That's why I laugh at these people that see something new and just have to have it while I wait and prices drastically fall. Guys where paying more than that for 120 gigs a ways back.

    You got that right! Some times I just can't wait though. My biggest "folly" so far was the "Microsoft Mouse" which had an electronic scroll wheel and a few other
    pieces of excitement and I paid nearly $100 for a mouse you can buy today for $25 which I don't even like anyway!

    LOL Yeah that's the way it goes sometimes. Intrigue gets the best of us and dulls are better sense.

    On New Egg UK site £106.99. The same size as the Crucial ones I bought, and around £20.00 cheaper. The second one was only about a month since too, so you are right about being caught out by price drops, however I needed them so had to pay the price at the time.

    Needing is fine as you have no choice and I've been there too. It's the ones that already have good a great good working computer but just have to have the latest and greatest.

    I think it their choice whether they want the latest and greatest.
    After all it's their money they are spending.
    Who are we to judge?:)

    I think it is something we all have had to do one time. I remember paying $650 for an AMD cpu because I wanted the fastest and didn't care if it was for 2 weeks or 2 years just once. Of course the fact that I mashed a pin and lost it was not something I considered possible and TG for a great attitude on AMD's managements part and I know I have said this before but how they helped me in a way I know Intel would never do, is part of why I am so loyal to AMD 9 years later. Y0u just don't forget that.

    No I'm not judging at all. To each their own, but I know the price will drop in no time when it comes to PC parts. Rich, Intel would have said it's your fault so we can't do anything for you.

    I agree. I had a similar problem with my first AMD build. When I contacted AMD, they sent me a brand new processor, no questions asked.
    I was asked to return the damaged one after they over-nighted me a new one.

    A month later, I received the damaged processor back in the mail, repaired at no charge.
    Of course, I then built another computer. lol

    AMD are good like that as they value their customers. I sure hope INTEL has changed in that regard.

    Actually Ray they did do that on a much cheaper Cpu. I got into a dispute with a cpu I bought from Newegg where Newegg claimed since it was past 30 days I had to send it to Intel. Intel said it was oem and they would not take it back and it was not oem and Newegg refused to do anything either. I posted the whole story on resellerratings and Newegg called me before it was even published and said to send it back and they would exchange it which I did and they did. I honestly forget what was wrong but I did not do whatever it was and no one argued with me over that just whether or not the cpu was oem or retail and no one would budge until I posted that. Intel also contacted me after that and offered for me to send it back and I hung up on them. I sent it back and Newegg replaced it and also gave me a $100 gift certificate if I would speak nicely about them on resellerratings which I then did (yes I can be bought on occasion)!

    Being bought is better than being a sellout. I will always raise stink if I feel I'm getting walked on because if you don't (and many don't) they win. Intel will use every clause in their "warranty" (I use that term loosely) to get out of honoring their warranty. No need for them to do that with us consumers when they have all the big box names in their pockets.
