Insipiron/Vostro Owners with Nvidia 8600M GT (DDR2)

Have you guys tried contacting Dell in order to get some sort of monetary credit for their false advertising of memory bandwidth on their website??

From what I've gathered, the bandwidth should be less considering it is DDR2 memory, rather than DDR3 (DDR2 has a lower clockspeed).

 

yes, people have. And they got from a 50-200 dollar credit. DDR2 is less than GDDR3, thats true. I dont see where it says DDR2 or GDDR3

 

i believe the memory bandwidth would be less than advertised on that site.

edit: it would be 12.8GB/s as apposed to the 22.4GB/s that they claim.

 

my order is coming sometime next week, i will call them and ask them, what should i say?

 

False advertising... lol... some things are taken to the extreme...

 

If you want false advertising, just claim this page: http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/lea...n&~id=hmc_graphics_vostronb&~lt=popup&ref=CFG, where they claim a better GPU makes your wallpaper more crisp. They should add an asterisk after "standard graphics card" and append "without glasses" or "after getting punched in the face".

 

rofl, nice find lithus

 

if someone tells me that i'm getting a 2ghz processor and they send me a 1.5ghz processor, do you consider that acceptable?
