#33 ... ugh ... did I mention anything about desktop chips here? Did you read my comment? I did mention in another article that we had unusally high desktop losses lately, but I didn't know what was causing them. It could have been a vender issue also. Charlie has has about as much to do with it as desktop chips had with my last comment on this thread. However, I'll admit I did read the article.

EDIT: Just read this part.....
While documents TG Daily has seen indicate that Alienware found higher than usual failure rates with Diamonds cards and ended up returning its entire lot of more than 2600 graphics cards and eventually dropped Diamond as a supplier, Seems this story could have many levels to it. |

Interesting. That's exactly why you have to did deeper, or talk to someone higher in the chain of command before dropping venders.
#30 - Nvidia's being sued for faulty chips. The CEO admitted there were some issues, and said Nvidia was more then willing to help resolve any problems. I think it's a completely diffrent ball game. |

I really don't see how the orginal story could have been true due to the fact that almost all Ati cards are made from a single manufacturer. If one companies card is faulty, all of them are probably faulty.
No other reports of faulty cards means the original story probably was from an disgruntled employee that got fired. |

In an email sent to TG Daily, Zaman noted that the true problem in regard to Alienware was that the company received “tainted data from [its] engineer” and that it took that engineer “suspiciously” long to find the problem with the graphics cards. Zaman said that ,not the hardware problem in itself but the time it took the engineer to fix the issue was the reason why it lost Alienware as a customer.
They sent back all the cards they had ordered because of dissatisfaction with the service,not because they were all faulty. RTFA next time... |

the web....... funny how everyone has become so quick to judge and condemn.
it's like going to a car race in hopes of seeing a crash, a hockey game in hopes of seeing a fight, the circus in hopes of seeing one of the performers fall and get hurt. |

this is going to hurt them for a very long time as people only remember the story and not the result that it was a fraud

They always say it is a disgruntled employee. A company that I worked for asked me to falsify documents to a customer. I refused and I became a disgruntled employ.

Computer business could make a dandy, emmy winning day time soap opera. No joke.
Have one CEO a woman and the other a guy and everything is good to go. |

What's going on here? 20 minutes and not a single comment. There should be a flaming 50 comment thread here by now. Or is everyone out pre-drinking for the presidential debate?
