I'm running 2 sticks of pc2700, one of them is crucial, other one came from my old dell, it's really costly to go to PC3200 that would be a worthwhile upgrade, I'm wondering on the bottleneck of the new system as well. I'm getting a Asus P4C800-E board.

can u believe this crap!?!?!

mine is still saying that it's at warehouse... well send it for the love of God!!!
double shipments..... bad inventory control.... conflicting messages/emails.... innacurate shipping status.....agh!!!

i hope their shipping department has nothing to do with their manufacturing dept.!

<sigh> I guess here comes another weekend that i can't play with my new toy....

 

[gregdep]

<silence>

now my status went from "sent to warehouse for shipping" to.... "We have received your order for the items listed below. We will be processing these items for shipment at the earliest possible date." AGAIN!!!!

 

[KrayzieKMF]

is there a reason to pick the kingston ddr ram over the crucial 3200 512 mb for $93.99?

Me, too! :|

I am running 2 sticks of 512MB PC2100 memory on my current AMD rig now. And I am planning to use those 2 sticks ram on the new Intel setup.

Quick Question: Would I suffer major performance hit from that? If so, roughly what percentage decreases I am seeing?

Thanks in advance.

 

[sdaccord01]

Just got my board, cpu and winxp today, still waiting until my asus p4c800-e comes

 

[gregdep]

Here's the latest from the order page:

Please note that because of very high demand for this kit, delivery time will be longer than anticipated. We are working to manufacture supply as quickly as possible. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for shipment of your kit. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.


oh yea... and my status is saying that the merchandise was sent to warehouse for delivery.... again!

My abit mobo and watercooling stuff will all be here friday.... but again doesnt look like this is going to be the week for my bundle delivery!

Howz everyone like their hardware (for those who received it?) any OC stories yet??

 

[FrozenDownload]

WOA!!!!!! MINE TOO!!!!!!

Dear Intel, please forgive me for my sins and for using your name in vain. Amen

 

[PaperclipGod]

Mine just shipped. Ordered 10/28, shipped 11/20. 3 weeks isnt that bad, considering the amount of demand.

 

[chuckyH]

Mine shipped......

Thank you for shopping with Shop Intel(SM)! We appreciate your business and
wanted to let you know that one or more items from your order have shipped.


I ordered 10/31 shipped 11/20 at 12:21am

 

[dough1boy7]

Wow, props to intel for sending me an e-mail at 1am last night saying it was shipping, and I received my bundle at 10am today! I ordered on 10/31, so thats not too bad. If only I had time to actually put it all together....damn school...

 

[theilan]

So I finally got the email with a purchase code today and put in my order earlier today. Anyone think there's any chance of me actually getting a bundle?

 

[ivwshane]

Wahoo!! I received mine today!! It's actually the first time I've ever seen ups's tracking system show the correct delivery date.


Thanks again intel and phillip from intel!


theilan if you got the code I see no reason why you wouldn't get the bundle.

 

[BHeemsoth]

w00t just got mine that i ordered on the 23rd.

Too bad i wont be able to build until after christmas.

 

[rudeguy]

I got shafted....got in on time, but never got the email. I emailed intel and they said they never got my submission.

Bastages

 

[ivwshane]

Anyone else notice the higher quality heatsing intel is using with this chip?

 

[sdaccord01]

yeah, I noticed, but I think I'm going to use my SLK-900U heatsink instead

 

[ivwshane]

If I want to run the memory in dual channel mode (two sticks) what dimm slots do they go in.







I must say the documentation with this board sucks. Something like a motherboard should not have a manual on cd only.

 

[chuckyH]

Also do you have to buy the dual channel sticks (pretested)or just 2 identical sticks?

 

[theilan]

Is the set coming with the CPU/heatsink already attached? Or is it a build-it-yourself type of deal?

 

[Chucko]

The best deals for memory in my opinion are....

Kingston 1GB Kit HyperX DDR 400MHz 2-3-2-6-1

Kingston 512MB Kit HyperX DDR 400MHz 2-3-2-6-1

Non Hyper X 1 GB Kit KVR400X64C3AK2/1G

Non Hyper X 512 MB Kit KVR400X64C3AK2/512

And if you like crucial here you go, but be sure find and use a coupon

You do it yourself, in fact it say on the box that it's intended to be installed by a professional.
