    Wow and I thought $20 was cheap! This thread belongs in the NBR bargains though.

    Nice post though.

    Sold out, at least for the time being. Promo code is good until 9/1 so hopefully they'll get more stock before then.

    LOL. So why don't OEM's offer 8GB now? Really. Why the stinginess with 4GB or 2GB in laptops? Just make 8GB standard and be done with it. HP charges $60 to UPGRADE to 8GB from 6GB. What? You know volume pricing for OEM's would be like $12 a DIMM.

    Yep. Managed to order one yesterday afternoon and got a tracking number a couple hours later. I'll be putting it and a 750 GB WD Scorpio Black (bought on a Newegg Shell Shocker for $90) into my Asus K53TA. The last piece of the puzzle is to find out if the wireless card in this notebook would be upgradable to the Killer-N 1102. If so, I'll snag one of those as well. For a shade more than $600 after tax, this will wind up being a pretty powerful budget-grade machine.
