 |
|
| Just a word of warning when buying a computer in Yongsan - there do appear to be some people selling computers who have no idea how to make them. I recently bought a computer from one of the sellers there, but had to send it back due to an incompatible motherboard. I then had it returned, only to find that the ram was faulty. |

While I'm sure there is some truth in what you say, what do you mean by "an incompatible motherboard"? Faulty RAM can't be foreseen, but hey should have tested the system.
Sorry to hear of your troubles. It's always a good idea to go there armed with some information; at least get them to fire it up and put it through some paces in front of you. |

| I don't know exactly what was causing the problem with the motherboard, as I'm not an expert when it comes to computers, but they said they would test it for me before I bought it. Then, when I had it returned in order to have the motherboard changed, they should have found out about the faulty ram. |

That's a shame. Hope it all works out for you in the end. Consider a different vendor next time. Perhaps the one in the post above or I have a guy that I have been going to for years. I can't recall the store name now (doh!) but if and when you need something, PM me and I will give directions. |

| I bought a motherboard there that didn't work. I returned it about a month later. |
