<< according to the place i bought my mobo from, central computer, the one located in the Santa Clara, CA. They told me that ASUS only deal with dealers. not end user. so, i have to take it back to the central and get the RMA and then they send it to the ASUS and wait for at least 5 weeks (last time, it was 2 months) to get my mobo back. >>
Not true, I have a MB in with Asus right now for RMA. I called Asus, talked to the RMA department, they asked for the serial # and the problem and gave me a RMA #.
