I think I will return my Gigabyte 7NF-RZ unopened, because it seems to
have no track record and I've seen such strong recommendations for the
ASUS X Series boards (and one kind of negative about Gigabyte).
I've been offered an ASUS X Series locally at $89, but I see it on
NewEgg for $53 + etc. So I assume my local "deal" isn't too good.
I prefer walk-in to mail order. But if the guy offered it to me for
$89, and I challenge him with the NewEgg price, how much can he do about
it? I assume it is more expensive for him to carry an item in stock,
and he has to make a living, and on the other hand I assume he has a lot
more latitude than he wants to let on.
So what's a realistic price to expect from a bricks'n'mortar operation,
in a case like this? I just thought I'd give it a shot before going to
NewEgg.
(BTW, with the new power supply, my PC can burn CDs; but only under
Linux, that's xcdroast on RH8.0. Windows still blue-screens when I
stick a disk into the CD-RW drive. I will still get a new MOBO, but
it's no longer urgent so I can wait if I need to.)
