| 444803 | 2006-04-08 05:39:00 | Here is a question and answer from ascent.co.nz But aren't you responsible for any incompatibility issues between the products you sell? There are simply too many combinations of devices for us (or anyone else) to know if a given item will conflict with other hardware. There are also too many driver-related and Windows-related issues for us to know what difficulties you will strike with your particular configuration. And finally, there are some people who simply do not have the necessary knowledge to get some tricky items working correctly (in some situations you may need a bit more than the instruction manual). If we notice any obvious incompatibilities in your order, such as ordering DDR RAM with a motherboard that has no DDR RAM slots, we will query this with you, but in the end only you are responsible for your choice of goods. To assist you with this we include links to manufacturers’ web sites and reviews. Furthermore, if you are in doubt about the compatibility of items you intend to purchase we recommend that you contact us first. We can tell you if there are any known incompatibilities and we can tell you if we know of others successfully running the same combination of products - but we cannot and do not guarantee the absence of conflicts. If you need more information than we are able to provide we suggest you contact the manufacturer and/or search in the relevant Internet newsgroups, forums or magazines. Not using the latest drivers, installing the drivers on a system with a less than perfect Windows installation, and incompatible BIOS settings can also cause difficulties, and may make the hardware appear to be faulty when that is not the case. The bottom line is that PC’s aren’t Macs. If you are using an unusual combination of products, you may need to do a little research first. They are right - except that even Apple can't sort out their own hardware compatability from time to time :) Sometimes it is only by using a system for quite a while you discover the quirks. |

| 444804 | 2006-04-08 08:59:00 | Recommend buying the WHOLE system from them - assembled my own PC once and the hassles were not worth it now I buy a complete system rather than trying to save $50+- if the system is not working I just take the whole thing back and say fix it! recommend www.etccomputers.co.nz (New Lynn Branch) Dealt with them numerous times after getting jerked off by QMB Computers who ACCUSED me off ripping out the wires in the $15 network card Last LAUGH at them cause I've purchased 7 systems from ETC in the last 4 years - GOOD PRICES and AFTER SALES SERVICE which is bloody rare! |

| 444806 | 2006-04-13 09:48:00 | I sent them back as per their instructions, they had opened the registered packet, while the courier guy waited, then sent it back to me, Just out of interest, how do you know that happened if you were not there? Might they not have tested it before returning it to you? Did you send test results as proof both sticks were defective? Cheers Billy 8-{):confused: |
