i think you are half right.. i think alot of "factory refurbs" are 100% working boards that were returned by users who mistakenly think they are defective.
not sure where you got your info, but bios can easily be updated. and latest bios update fixes the memory issue when using all 4 dimms.
the good prices seem to be back.. i just bought 2x 730i boards at $29 shipped
also a bunch of video cards added, not to mention an x58 sli board for $79 shipped (newegg has the same board for about $200)
i received the board today (730i), i paired it with an e3200. its running great and im surprised at all the advanced overclocking features (i figured with a cheap board it would only have the basic overclocking features, if any at all.)
also it did come with the i/o plate. i wasn't expecting...
ive usually had really good luck with refurb motherboards, im not exactly sure what "b-stock" means, but im in for one of the $29 boards. it has all the features i want/need
since its only $29 shipped, now i gotta decide if i want an extra one or two.
btw: i have years worth of trades with AT people, and i save all the html files of the back and forth conversations. which is where i was able to find the .gif of my cow.
so if anyone has an old avatar they are having trouble finding let me know. there is a pretty good chance i have it
i want my cow back. i no longer feel like a whole cow. ill probably never feel complete unless i can appear on the outside the way i feel on the inside.

no idea how accurate that is, but it claims 7600 is hacked version of the RC build (just made to show 7600 in the build info)
get off your high horse.
how do you know he isnt a small biz owner (he did say he was the "boss")
and incase your not aware torrents can be used for truly legitimate purposes. plenty of freeware tools that i personally use i downloaded through bittorrent. this was by going to the authors...
after a quick google search im wholly unimpressed with the sites i found for bike parts (not motorcycle.. but bicycle)
wondered if anyone knew of good places to find part, accessories, etc?
private message is really screwed up
if go to your "private message" page and click on a name (so you can see all the correspondence back and forth from a single individual) it leaves out some of the messages. it seems to always leave out the first message. and i cant find any way to view it...
im not real fond of the side menu, and its cool that we can minimize it... i would keep it minimized 100% of the time but cant see if ive received any PM's
is there any way to just put a tiny PM icon so we know if we have PM's??
*** sorry if this has already been asked.. i didnt read...
:roll: and what do you call posting the same screenshot multiple times?
and i dont really get your point. maybe you misread my post. i said i wouldn't petition to change it back... (ie. if they make it 5min im ok with that)
is it not ok to politely disagree with you?
**edited to...
lol, nope. i dont have a problem with the current policy (i think its a pretty small minority that does have a problem with it)
if they decide to change it i wouldn't petition for it to change back either (dont really care much one way or the other as long as its consistant and the policy...
this morning i was chastised/threatened by a mod (via PM). i was totally confused as to why. i checked the "fs/ft rules" thread to see if there was some rule change about bumping threads for others when reading their posts (didnt see any rule change) then i saw this thread and guessing thats...
ahh im glad i saw this :)
