Essentially, what Parago is saying, is that the various PNY rebates have
ONLY been for the 128MB and 256MB
SDRAM modules and
NEVER included the
DDR memory. I have submitted PNY rebates to them for the following PNY rebate offers, and every rebate that was for the 256MB DDR PC2100 memory, is listed in their online documentation and/or on the rebate check as either "256S100" or "256S133" memory modules (never "D256M6421OPT" as listed in the rebate printout):

I 'suspect' that one of three (3) things is happening:
- PNY screwed-up the database they provide the various rebate centers, listing all memory modules in a "mmm-S-sss" format (megabytes-"S" for SIM-speed);
- Circuit City screwed-up and listed the DDR modules when they weren't intended to a 'qualified rebate item';
- Parago (RebatesHQ.com) simply has a bunch of incompetent minimum-wage dataentry clerks that cannot figure out the difference between an "N128S133Y" module and "128S133" module
- or partial/complete combinations of the above.
