So it has been one week since i put in an order for the new motherboard, and i get a call today. They tell me that the reason it's been taking so long is because they ran out of stock and, the warehouse no longer stores anymore of the model i am interested in. Then they start listing off other options that i "might" be interested in...
... i was furious, took two breaths, and asked them to refund the money instead. So back to the beginning -1 week down the drain.
Luckily for me, just about every online Computer Store has its original retail location somewhere downtown Vancouver... I'm not even kidding... look it up. So i called about 3 other shops, all advertising to carry it and "order online". They also didn't have any in-stock. Finally i got a place, and when someone answered the phone they actually knew how to speak English! *I knew this was a good sign*
Score! They carry it AND it's in-stock too! I asked them to reserve one for me despite being reassured they have plenty on their shelves. I've also opted to go for a hike on Saturday and pick it up myself at the store. Saving myself another week of trouble.
So maybe, just maybe. By the end of this weekend all will be well.
Till next time, Ciao!

I got it on the weekend and its awesome. It's now sitting overclocked an extra 750MHz from 1.8 to 2.55 AND recognizing both cores. Also enabled me to manually set ram timings to 2.5 3 3 8 and setup all 4 sticks to run stable at about 180Mhz. FSB boosted to 285Mhz from original 200Mhz. Basically its just plain awesome.
