i just got one from my local store. One on the ad is the newer model and it was out but had an older one (Topaz S). They were able to do substitution (thus paying the same price as a model in the ad) for the topaz model for me.
I got one for my wife a while ago from stapels. (AMD CPU laptop). it came with 1 stick of 1G RAM. I added one stick of 2G stick to make 3G total RAM.
I've removed 99% of pre-installed apps and it runs rock solid. Prior to RAM upgrade and app removals, it was a bit slow.
a little bird told me that you may have problem, if you have NV4 and more than 2G RAM... get updates to fix it. someone mentioned a company that starts with N, not M, had issues.
i have 6400Pro (2x1GB) and it is good on DS3 board. I even had it running 4-4-4-10 no problem. The same sticks on Abit AB9 can't even do DDR 533 stable. On AB9, Patriot Extream Performance 6400 did good for me.
you may just have bad board & RAM combo.
