Poll: What do I do?

[Chaotic42]

Hey, all.

Some of you might know that I've had some crazy keyboard problems with my Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P motherboard. I won't go back into details, but it looks like I'll have to RMA it.

So here's my question. What would you do?

My rig is in my .sig, incase you're curious. If I go single CPU, I would expect it to be appreciably faster.

Edit:

Assuming I can sell my current stuff, I figure on:

2x1800 CPUs: $70
Mobo refund: $200
1.25GB PC2100-R: $200

That's $470 if I build a new system for motherboard, memory, and processor.

These would likely be the replacements:

Intel
AMD
Alpha

You can't be serious, where's the Opteron option? :Q

Get Barton and Nforce2 board.
U'll live happy after that

gigabyte has a really good rma policy, i would RMA and go nforce2 w/ 1700+ or 2500+

I assume you have problems with your keyboard on the ps2 port?

Why cant you use a USB keyboard?

Here's the gist
2Cpu version

You seem to be a SMP type of man so if you got the cash plunk it down on that schweeeeeet dual Operton system with 8X AGP

But if we are being practical I say just RMA the board and then come this fall THEN get dual Oppies once the price drops and the mobos start to come with this wave of new technology

It'll cost money either way but I would say to just RMA for now

Well, GIgabyte said I had a bad I/O chip and that I should return it. They said it's not a known issue.

Thanks to everyone who voted and replied.

Wow, I guess we've got some dual lovers in the house.

I'm going to send it back on Monday. I guess I'll be without a computer for 10 days or so. Oh, well.
