I just dropped my dead motherboard off at msi's depot. they told me that they don't have stock of my particular board so I will have to wait.

do any of you have rma experience with msi?

I need my board asap and I might buy a new computer if it will take too long.

When I shipped them a video card a few months ago it took about 3 weeks including shipping both ways. No idea if they had stock or that caused a delay.

3 weeks is too long. When I rma'ed with ocz they gave me a new drive on the spot.

Buyer beware - msi's motherboards suck. To make matters worse, their rmas are slow.

I'm not complaining, figure close to 2 of the 3 weeks was shipping. Haven't bought a MSI motherboard in years, saw no reason to.

I've got an older S939 machine prepped to ship, let me know if you are interested. Check my FS thread for details. I'll let it go cheap, as long as you pay for shipping.

I appreciate that larry but if I do anything i'm going to upgrade rather than downgrading.

Do you by chance need an opteron 144 for the rig?
