Putting a 100 nic in this machine will not help really unless the other machines are using 100mbits also. If I don't understand this, someone please correct me. I am reading that thread now, and thinking of some good projects. Thanks guys.

I finally have a BP6 running again. Right now I have Ubuntu Warty running on it, but I am going to upgrade to Hoary when I get home this evening. Currently all I am doing with it is crunching SETI WU's. My question is this; what are you all using your machines for? I have a 2.4Ghz P4 that I use for ...

I recieved my second BP6 off ebay earlier this week. I have not been able to install the board in a chassis yet since I just started a new job, but the visual once-over of the caps seemed to be promising. I purchased this second board not in an attempt to scam the RMA dept. I have two cpu's, ram, ag...

Well, that blows. It is ok though, because I just picked a BP6 up off ebay for $18.50!! Can't beat that with a stick. I will wait to recieve it and might have to RMA that one also. Hopefully it will just work when I get it. Sweet. Next time I will insist that they wait until they have a replacement ...

As stated above, I was in the same boat. I really wanted to keep my BP6, but Abit informed me that they were out of stock. I asked about the time before they had more, and never recieved an answer. I finally just asked them to send me a new PCI-Express board. The AG8 baord was shipped to me yesterda...

They are out of BP6 boards. They offered to replace it with something else based on my original invoice. I didn't have my original invoice anymore, so they said the MSRP on the board was 124.00 USD. They said they would ship any abit board to me from newegg.com. I think I am going to go with the AG8...

I recieved an email from the RMa dept. a couple nights ago telling me to not ship yet, and they would send me a label. Yesterday I was sitting at home, and the UPS guy showed up with the label and was ready to take my BP6. I was surprised and not ready to ship, so he is coming back today. This is un...

I finally recieved a reply from the RMA dept. They said that since I didn't have my original invoice, it would be $25 labor, but that they would replace it. I am going to send it in as soon as I have a chance. Will post updates here. I am excited again about this great motherboard.

Thanks,

I just went through all of that, I guess I will just have to wait and hear back from them. How much, generally, would I need to look at spending on this?

crap, sorry....triple post for some reason

sorry...

hyperspace, Can you give me some more information about this rma procedure? obviously i am new to this forum, my bp6 crapped out on me a couple of years ago. Thank goodness I held onto it. I stumbled upon this site tonight, and started to read a little about the capacitor problem. I dug the board ou...
