When you RMA an item, usually you have to contact the RMA dept and get an RMA number. Then you send them the item... then they either fix it, or send you back a new one.
Well, I initially was going to go through Asus's RMA department, but then realized that newegg has a 1 year replacement policy. I figured that would be much faster, as they send the replacement via next day air :-).
I also put a note in asking if they could give me the 1.04G revision as well, as that might help my success in running 4 sticks of RAM.

On the board I just in, I would get constant blue screens in Vista. As soon as I would go down to 2, it would work fine. I think it may have been a bad memory bank or a bad memory controller... who knows... I just hope the new board does not have the same problem.

BTW - since I have Vista64 Ultimate, will replacing the motherboard require me to re-activate? Or is the install tied to multiple pieces of hardware, and it only triggers the re-activation if several of those change?

Thanks guys! This forum is great!
