Microcenter has Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL9 for $77.99 Microcenter Link FYI - They also have a combo deal that takes an additional $10 off any Crucial PC Memory with purchase of a motherboard. I bought 2x of these 16 GB sets with an Asus motherboard and received...

Looks good to me, thanks. The cheapest 2 TB on NewEgg shows up at $109.99. Think I'll grab one of these tomorrow!

Great to hear - I definitely started to worry a bit. 4:28 EST and I haven't seen or heard anything yet! But now that others have actually received theirs, hopefully mine will follow shortly. UPDATE: Just received my email @ 4:37 PM EST. Time to get started!

I'm also still waiting for my CD Key (1:36 PM EST). As the previous poster said, we were promised a delivery by 5 PM EST today. I remain hopeful that it will show up by then. I'm stuck in training until 4:30 anyways, so no need for the key sooner. Just wanted to share my experience with...

Just a heads up for everyone. If you order this, you won't receive the CD Key until May 14th. At least that's what he told me after I ordered from him. I figured I should point it out to everyone because he never mentioned it at any point during the transaction, and it kind of caught me off...

I mailed my rebate information out on Dec 6th. Just checked, and the rebate website status shows that they are still awaiting receipt of documentation. I know these places tend to be a little slow, but 13 days after mailing is a bit worrisome. Anyone else experience a similar delay?

Wow, Dark Souls for PS3 is not included in this deal. Yet the Xbox version is. Big bummer!

In for a set of the 1600! Thanks OP.

Gotta agree with the previous poster. I bought this phone 2 months ago. It's OK, but definitely has memory issues and acts very sluggishly at times. But if you really want a Windows Mobile phone, it might be a good first choice for you.

D0 is a newer stepping that supposedly can hit the same frequencies at a lower temp than C0. But in my experience reading through forums, it seems to be hit or miss. The i7 rocks either way -- I'm just not so sure that the D0 is anything noticeably better than the C0.

i7 is the way to go

Just stick with aircooling... no need to spend all that extra cash when you can OC to 4.0 GHz with air.

It took me 7 different tries with that cooler to get my load temps down into the mid 70º's. Huge pain, but I'm glad to have figured it out.

I found that I had to tweak my voltages to get a decent OC. DRAM: 1.64 CPU: 1.225 QPI: 1.335

I have the same cooler as you, and I had issues with the CPU running too hot at load with 3.6+ GHz overclock. After experimenting a bunch with the amount and pattern of applied thermal paste, I finally got my temps down into the mid 70º's under load. But to get there, I had to attach the HSF...
