Thanks!

Wow, ya'll are quick... some dude had 3 threads about PHP (I believe that was the topic) and I come over hear to ask how to report, and they already seem to be snagged! Good job. Spammers suck!

Lord if I had a dime for every dollar of mine Newegg has gotten over the years... I'd likely be able to buy that Supreme Ares combo they are touting! :laugh: To answer your question, I've had great experience with Amazon 99% of the time, and they had it at this price. And when I do cancel my...

I know, and I knew that when I ordered. Darn it, just hoped to get it at that price :D. In almost 10 years of shopping with them, I think this is the first time I've ordered something which they weren't able to restock within a couple of days. :respect: I'm just stubborn, I reckon. And part of...

Yeah, pretty much what I've decided. I'll have a smidge more to spend come this weekend, so I'm going to leave the order in place until then, and then cancel and order something else. I think my frustration lies in the fact that (IMHO) you should not list something for sale, when you don't have...

And their customer service is being particularly worthless in this case. What does this even mean?

Yep, Amazon is the seller, which is part of the frustration. Two or 3 third party retailers DO have the card in stock, but for a significantly higher price. I wonder if they don't want to sell at that price, and those of us who have it on order give up so they can raise their price? :laugh...

Not sure this is the right sub-category to post in, but it does involve a graphics card :). I've had an Asus GTX 460 DirectCU 1 Gb Top on order at Amazon since the 21st, and still no status update. I've contacted them but they simply claim it is their supplier. Why don't I cancel the order? I've...

Which version of the Enterprise is it for? :D Sorry, this old geek couldn't resist.

I sold mine last week. Good performance, but the EVGA GTX 470 SC runs HOT, up in the 80-90 range in my case while gaming. Played with MSI Afterburner and custom fan profiles, but, well, the fan gets loud. So for me, not worth it, I can either have an oven under my desk (in Florida) or a jet...

I'm right at $1300 right now, but without a discrete sound-card, and running on a HIS Radeon 4650 graphics card for another week or 4. Just rebuilt the core to get back on an i7, tried an 890FX / 1055 T for a couple of months, wasn't working for me. Had a GTX 470, and besides the noise and heat...

Mirrors are pretty slow as well. Data has to be written to 2 (or however many) drives, and when read has to be compared as well, IIRC.

I've been running RAID 0 for years, but keep a separate drive for files and storage, as others suggest. I currently have 3 200 gig drives striped, and 1 750 gig WD Black as storage. You may or may not know that you can point your personal folders to folders on a separate drive, which is how I...
