I think they do not like you! I ordered memory the same day and got it yesterday, even using the 'econo-shipping' method.....


But mine came via Fedex, and not DHL.

I know where they live, see how they like that ...

Fedex headquarters is in Memphis, so that would explain that. They send memory usually from the West Coast I think and they use DHL from there for some reason. I think I had the same problem. In fact, I think they sent it from the West Coast to Memphis and from there it got shipped South instead of West. It got halfway to Florida before they figured it out and sent it back up to Memphis to go West. I think I got it about 3 days late.

So, I guess the rule of thumb is, unless you live on the West Coast, expect G. Skill to take twice as long as they tell you.

I got both shipments of Memory an hour ago, 1 shipped 3 days before the other one but they both came the same day ...

Don't know how much time I'll get the next few days to work on the Re-build, promised the wife I'd take her to the movies this afternoon. Tomorrow & Monday it's supposed to get up into the 60's so I might go Golfing, Tuesday I have to take the wife to the Doctor, so it'll be sporadic at best working on the Re-builds ...

I can see taking the wife to the Dr. but movies and golfing? I think you have to get your priorities in order. CRUNCHING comes first!!!!

Maybe I could get the Dr to come to the House, that way I would't lose any Crunching Time ... ... ...

lol ... Yeah Right

Probably start one rebuild in the morning, I'm wondering whether I'll have to re-install Win 7 or not. I know a lot of times when you change a lot of hardware Windows makes you do a re-install of the OS. That will take longer than the Rebuild it's self ...

If your OS is not OEM you shouldn't have to do a reinstall only a reactivate.

Since, from the installed Windows point of view, it will see all new MB hardware, especially CPU, then the answer is YES. Windows may not even boot if it "sees" a different CPU then what it was installed on/with.

BTW, I could build a Win7 installer DVD image with most if not all the current Windows updates already added (aka Slipstreamed) in. Interested? Just tell me which version of Win7 to build. Note that I will not slipstream license keys into any images.

IDK. I've numerous hardware updates including CPUs ,mobos, the works and never had to reinstall. It should boot and ask to reactivate. If it fails to activate online I can show you how to activate by phone.
