http://www.tomshardware.com/news/newegg … ,9828.htmlNewegg is currently conducting a thorough investigation surrounding recent shipments of questionable Intel Core i7-920 CPUs purchased from Newegg.com.
Initial information we received from our supplier, IPEX, stated that they had mistakenly shipped us "demo units." We have since come to discover the CPUs were counterfeit and are terminating our relationship with this supplier. Contrary to any speculation, D&H Distributing is not the vendor that supplied us with the Intel Core i7-920 CPUs in question.
Newegg's top priority is to proactively reach out to all customers who may have been affected to ensure their absolute satisfaction. We have already sent out a number of replacement units and are doing everything in our power to resolve the matter promptly and with the least amount of inconvenience to our customers.
We have always taken pride in providing an exceptional experience for each customer, and we apologize for any inconvenience to our valued customers. We take matters like this extremely seriously, and are working in close cooperation with Intel and the appropriate law enforcement authorities to thoroughly investigate this incident.
The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
so basically, anyone that's ordered an i7 920, get on to Newegg and tell them you received a fake

Wow, those are going down in price. It usually took a Corporate contact to get it at $400.Winston_Churchill wrote:

16:10 too, they're hard to find
everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... seriously. ♥
Would CFing a 512mb HD4870 with my 1gb 4870 be worth it for a small (and cheap) graphics upgrade? or is it not worth the money?
unless you're running insane resolutions, 512MB is fine
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Holy shit, I just weighed my pc and it weighs 93lbs... that's 42 kilograms.
Edit:...derp, I weighed it while I was holding it, and for some reason thought I was 10 stone, and not 13...

Or playing games like GTA: IV. More than 512MiB isn't at all just for "insane" resolutions these days.max wrote:

Ironic thing is, when you have money you often lack the time. When you have the time you often lack the money.
