Love the looks. Not sure that I would pay 2.1 for a refurb :\
I'm a bit confused...it's a Nehalem but has 4 RAM slots. It must be like Intel's DX58SO board. 4 slots, 2 colors, 3 channels.
im not sure about the newer ones, and by the looks of it it's not the case with yours, but didnt some other version have the memory on riser cards? i often wondered how they managed to do that and no sacrifice performance.
Ummm I believe it was back in August I want to say. The VA actually got if for me (apparently you can't purchase the model I have, government contractors only I guess (HP's Online chat doesn't even support it)) for school so while I planned to get a higher end one for school... can't beat free.
