Warranty issues are why I do not sell the high end components, but the middle of the road stuff. If a computer manufacturer/shop buys and sells a $300.00 video card and it is either DOA or goes out in warranty, the computer shop has to replace it. You can not ask your customer to wait 3 weeks, so you have to buy (if you do not stock) a new ones to service your warranty. When you get the return item, often it is so used you can see the turned colors. What would be bright brass color of new is dingy. If you have your customer buy their high end parts at Office Depot, they can be took back with a few days (if bad) and you get a new one. I know of no computer supplier that promptly returns new items for new items. I would gladly let my supplier hold five hundred dollars of my money in an escrow account, if they would promise to ship out new replacements for any RAM item, the same day I call it in. How do y'all handle warranty replacements without them being a heavy business expense? Chuck

Abit may give lots better warranty service than Asus. Asus is very slow to ship the replacement board. While on the subject, finally, I had a Seagate hard drive to die. I got an RMA and shipped it to Texas via UPS Ground. Seagate promptly shipped my replacement. It was a recertified drive (the same as Western Digital) but at least Seagate shipped promptly and Seagate did not ship the same way I shipped to them. They shipped it 2 day air. Any other comments on Seagate RMA turnarounds compared to Western Digital? I am convinced that less Seagates die, also. Seagate earned my business by being the first to offer me a 5 year warranty.

If I can't, I always leave a barely visible marker so I can see if I got the same exact item back. Or, at least keep a copy of the serial number of the item you send to them. It makes you feel better to get somebody else's dead and repaired component than to get your dead and repaired component back. The sad part is your DOA's are technically new and what you get back could be a year or more old and repaired. Chuck

Well go figure, rev 0 AND Via, you'd expect problems. Hardly a basis to scratch Asus off the list. Wayne Johnson wrote: At 04:03 PM 4/19/2006, Thane Sherrington (S) typed: Heh heh. Good point.

Since I had never had a problem with VIA prior to that, actually still don't have any problems with that part of the board that ASUS promised us that rev 0 was going to be upgradeable via bios upgrades as far as the memory bus speed [266 vs 333] is concerned that never came then I feel I can still easily scratch ASUS off my list but otherwise I would agree with you. FWIW the board is still in service as a test machine since I figured that if it'll work there it'll work anywhere. --+-- Wayne D. Johnson Ashland, OH, USA 44805 http://www.wavijo.com
