Be on the lookout for low quality Diamonds...

And for once I am not talking about jewelry. Diamond Multimedia could be responsible for shipping defective 512MB HD 3800 models to system builders like Alienware. Before you all get your panties in a twist, I should point out that the article mentions that Diamond may have been screwed by its contractor, ITC (GeCube). Aside for the units shipped to system builders, there are also more than 15,000 defective units that have been sold at retail or that are still in the retail channel waiting to be sold. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Of course, if our sources are correct - and the documents we received support their claims - then more than 15,000 potentially defective Diamond graphics cards were sold in retail/etail or are still in the channel.

Have any of you guys had trouble with your Diamond 3800's?
