Well well, Newegg get's a +1 today. Seems they will pay for shipping back & fro AND issue a next day shipment when UPS shows the package accepted at the UPS store.
Not that this was their initial offer mind you, but 2 emails later they agreed to this much but declared "we not getting any returns on these". Bunk I assume given how widespread the problem seems to be going back more than a few months. Ah well, so I have to take it into Spokane on monday & hope that means new card before Wednesday. Of course I could just end up with the next card on the pallet and the same problem, sigh. Sapphire on the other hand would not even make the explicit statement that a replacement card would not have the same issue even when directly asked that question. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
