    Default $100 credit for 8600m GT mislead

    I managed to get yet another $100 credit on my 1520 order. This one concerns the misleading us into believing we got a 8600m GT GDDR3 when in fact we got more of a GDDR2. The first customer rep online gave me the credit without too much of a argument.

    So my final total for my 1520 is $883
    i7-2630QM | 1GB Radeon HD 6770M Graphics | 6GB DDR3 | 640GB 7200RPM| Anti-glare LED Display (1920 x 1080)

    Ordered: 7/18
    Shipped: 7/25

    where does it give information misleading towards it being a GDDR3 card and how did you find out it was GDDR2? I am waiting for mine to ship and will apply for this credit after

    Did you get a student deal or something?

    I thought I got a good deal for my loaded 1505 at a little over $900

    Same, although mine was more a refund.
    The more rep the better!

    Hey storm, what did you put as the "issue type"?

    Wrong/Missing/Damaged? I think that's the closest to this issue, but that doesn't really feel right. Is that the one you chose?
