805754 2009-09-01 08:12:00 I would be a little disapointed that Ascent never queried your order. Surely if the mistake of mismatched parts was picked up on the forum, it should have been picked up by Ascent. plod (107)

They said some time ago they were no longer responsible for this. Too many people were ordering incompatible parts and it was taking up too much of their time sorting it out.

805756 2009-09-01 08:45:00 Nope. I got told nothing from Ascent about the UncompatiI have kept every E-Mail, since I first ordered, and I recieved a phonecall just to make sure the Credit card is legit, and what not. Mister (15201)
805757 2009-09-01 09:00:00 You know, another option would have been to get an AMD Phenom II X4 945, and keep the same memory and motherboard. Looks like the 940/945 is faster than the Q8200, and has hardware virtualization support if you want to run virtual machines (or XP mode in windows 7...) Sherman (9181)

Its all about customer service, having to do returns would be more time consuming then a quick email... After all, customer service and knowledge is the reason real computer shops are recommended over toaster shops
