£362 with tax and shipping. I already have 2 GB of Ballistix DDR2-1000 (~£320), so it's proving to be an expensive obsession.

Ballistix is around 350 aswell so around £700 :eek:

OMG!! :eek:

lol, no, enough. I was tempted by the fabulous G.Skill DDR HV a few months ago after I'd bought HZ (and Ballistix Z503) but controlled myself admirably. Same here. :)

But mate...

4-4-4-5 at 1066mhz...and with only 2.2v as well!! P5W would love that stuff.

I think it's fair to say, that RAM really is the creme de la creme of RAM.

unfortualnately, i hate OCUk, but only use them becuase they sell lots of products (memory and mobos) that other shops dont sell...

Im going to order an Asus P5B Deluxe and 2Gb o' G-skill NR 6400 cos they are thte only place that sell them ATM...

If i could i would use www.scan.co.uk but they only really stock main-stream stuff like corsair...

Not any more, by the looks of it. £169 inc vat, out of stock. Who did that, then?

I doubt that, Ive just RMA'd my G.Skill 6400 HZ to overclockers because over 410 FSB on my P5W I have to run your mem at 4:3 divider :(

Im may as well keep my cheaper team group 667 until Asus fix it as the HZ is wasted.

Conroe 2.4Ghz E6600 for £215 anyone? - Komplett...

OcUK are actually about 6 quid cheaper (X6800) before tax - add vat and delivery to Komplett's prices. "Conroe 2.4Ghz E6600 for £215 anyone?" same price.

Seems as if the price is the price here, there's nothing between them. Teh cartel... :rolleyes:

No .. Kompletts price is including VAT . Without VAT it is £565.96

So same for the E6600 at £215. Looks likem Komplett not gauging like Dabs and overclockers.

QFT - I buy loads of stuff from Komplett - Tax is included and delivery is £7 via parcelforce - it comes from Holland so usually takes 2-3 working days though - unless of course you go DHL. I've had returns with them also - no problem whatsoever. They usually are good on new products and don't charge premiums as you can probably see. That works out £40 cheaper than OcUK inc delivery.

I stand corrected. :)

I'm sure when I bought a 6800 Ultra off them about 15 months ago, it was an ex-vat price.

You can choose how you want prices displayed on thier site. Incl or Exclude Vat... But VAT is always there when you complete the purchase :)

When I saw the Komplett price I got as far as the checkout ( plus 2GB of Corsair 6400C3 ) before sanity returned and I stopped myself. If I have a beer or two tonight I fear for myself. I might have to ask my wife to put my straightjacket back on.

Yeah, as I recall discovering... lol!

I've been spreading the cost. E6700 and ram are paid for, mobos are the issue for me now.

HELL YEH!

OCZ VX Titanium Alpha Ram! Shipped to my door avoiding customs 290GPB! Saved 70GBP rather than having to buy it from overclockers uk!

die overclockers die! WOOT!

All i need now is my 215-230 E6600 and a nicely priced mobo with high FSB and im good to go!

Long live honest US ebay sellers!

consistent high FSB mobo is the problem. Will the Abit be our saviours?

ocuk are saying they'll have stock of x6800 for shipping from monday, and pick up after 2pm monday, which might be some kinda allowed release time, i'm hearing 100 x6800 for uk , possibly only the x6800 with other chips to follow :(
