    At least one person does, but not from this forum. Apparently the Corsair DDR2 675 went up in price because newegg and ZZF had the 1GB kit for $244 last week and now newegg has sold out and ZZF has jack up the price to $285. Screw that, $40 may not seem to be a lot but heck, I want to break almost even when if I sell my old system just for a new mobo/ram/video. I'm just gonna have to wait now. Damn ZZF.

    Anyways.......here is a review on the ABIT AW8-MAX:
