1.Fix it fails to resume from S3 mode by PS2 Keyboard.
2.Enhance compatibility for certain memory modules.

It seems that ram compatibility is driving the frequent bios updates.

Hello folks; I'm brand new to this forum and oc'ing as well. I've "lurked" in this thread for a coupla days now and good ol' Robilar did a great sales job as you can tell by my system details. I'd like to offer a small contribution at this time.... There's a small chain of stores here in Ontario Can called Plug and Play who are selling the Extreme X6800 for $533.50 Can. if you walk in and purchase. It goes for $550 ordering online> How do I know this? I just ordered a lot of my gear from them. The online catalog looks fairly limited but they can and will order other stuff in. Great prices,I always hunt for deals and end up back with them.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that in for y'all. My gear arrives this Tues or Wed. I can't wait after reading all this great info. Thanks to Robilar and all you others who devote so much time to helping us noobs.

Glad you appreciate the guide. How in the blue hell are they able to charge $500 below what other retailers are selling it for? I have a dealer account with ingram micro here in Canada (They supply all of the intel retail box cpu;s to all of the tier 1 distributors in Canada). Dealer cost on the chip is $912 cdn.

Some advice (I had a computer business for 10 years) is that this is too good to be true. If you actually get the product you requested, call intel once you get it and verify that its a geniune retail box product under full warranty. Give them the serial number and have them check it.

There is a ton of grey market stuff out there and I'd hate to see a fellow canadian ripped off.

If it turns out to be legit, then you got a great deal. Post back because I'd buy a couple and sell them on ebay new and make $250 profit.

They're legit, been dealing with them for over 5 yrs, never been steered wrong. they just got a new reseller status from Intel, for what that's worth. actually it was the first thing I asked when i called and ordered the parts today. cuz everyone else is at least double theirs.

**Robilar** · 06-09-07

In that case, its a great deal (And nice to meet you as well). I'd still verify with intel if I were you. Nice system specs btw

Out of curiousity, what was their explanation for selling it so much cheaper than even the huge US vendors like newegg?

brb....Godot · 06-09-07

I will check it out for sure. I pored over all kinds of websites and there's nothing even close. could they have gooten a sweet deal on those chips for being a top seller? the rest of their cpu prices are pretty much in line it seems.

brb....Godot · 06-09-07

missed the second question, I truly have no idea about that particular chip, Jon the guy I talked to said they sell tons of them.

No. ASI Partner here in markham is a tier one intel certified oem in canada. They buy hundreds of intel cpu's monthly and get the best pricing structure from Ingram. There is no way this 3 store chain could match ASI for volumes. Asi price is $936.

ASI did 1.1 Billion in sales last year. If they can't get that kind of pricing, this company certainly can't.
