Class Action Lawsuit Against ABIT for Bursting Capacitors @ PCStats

“The Class Representative alleges in this Action that Abit Computer (USA) Corporation (“Abit”) manufactured, marketed, and sold select models of its motherboards containing an allegedly defective component, namely, a capacitor, which was allegedly prone to failure. Abit has denied and continues to deny these allegations and has asserted a number of affirmative defenses.“

PDP Systems Patriot PDC1G3200+XBLK DDR Memory @ PCStats

“According to the PDP Systems the pair of 512MB PC3200 DDR memory modules included in the PDC1G3200+XBLK kit are capable of 2-2-2-5 memory timings at their stock 200MHz speed, and can run up to 266MHz at a loose 3-4-4-8 timing. It’s nice of PDP to tell us what to expect right on the packaging! We’ll see how the memory measures up to these numbers in a little while. The PDC1G3200+XBLK kit is not PDP System’s highest performing Patriot memory kit, but it occupies a nice middle ground between performance and price. Like most DDR modules PCstats’ has reviewed recently, these PDP Patriot PDC1G3200+XBLK sticks are equipped with aluminium heat spreaders, which mainly protect the individual memory chips from physical damage.”
