P4C800-E Current Hardware Revision?
I bought my P4C800-E from Newegg last week ... Rev 2.0 & BIOS 1011. Haven't
needed to RMA it yet, fingers crossed. "Steve Sr." wrote in message ... Do any of you know what the current hardware version of this motherboard is for the U.S.? I sent the original (brand new but defective) back to Newegg on an RMA. This one arrived with 1010 BIOS and what I thought I remembered as hardware Rev 2.0 The "new" RMA replacement arrived with a BIOS of 1008 and a hardware rev of 1.02 which appears to be older. The serial numbers also seem to bear this out. The original MB had SN 37MG104107. The replacement had a squential number about 1/4 of this at 37ZG024889. So is Newegg sending out old stock for RMAs? Thanks, Steve |

I am very surprised that Newegg would to this. They are generally very
reasonable about RMA's. A few months ago, I returned a CPU on which I had carelessly bent the pins. They noted the damage, but replaced the CPU anyhow and didn't even charge me for shipping. You should try to get in touch with a supervisor there. You will probably get satisfaction. "Steve Sr." wrote in message ... Those dirty rotten *******s! They tried to pull a fast one! Buy a current revision board and it's DOA then they RMA you one thats close to 6 months old! At this rate it will be almost 3 months to get a working PC! All of the parts were ordered at the end of September. Anybody have any suggestions for dealing with Newegg on this. Too bad I can't get up close and personal with these idiots!

Done a lot of purchasing and RMA's with them and never had an issue. Did
you tell anyone what happened yet? Probably a coincidence and I'll bet they resolve it. Just my .02, I usually offer props for the vendors that work well for me - I have no other interest than to continue seeing good service available for myself... "Z Man" wrote in message et...
