    No, this isn't a double-post. After extensive testing, I found that the motherboard Alex had sold me had a few minor quirks that he had never noticed. It was Prime95 and memtest86 stable, but it would crash in 3D apps. He had never used it for 3D programs, thus, he never would have guessed. It wasn't a user error. I disabled all aggressive CPU/RAM/AGP BIOS settings and it still crashed (although not as quickly). Windows XP reported drive controller errors in the Computer Management Error Log, which is something most people would never notice (but could lead to data corruption).

    Alex was extremely helpful; he easily ranks up there with the best sellers I've dealt with. When I told him of the problems I'd discovered, he wrote, "okay well just so u know i will of course take that setup back if you aren't 100% satisfied.?Ç¥ He kept his word, and I just received a refund for the motherboard. Although the hardware wasn?ÇÖt perfect, it wasn?ÇÖt his fault, and he did a GREAT job making the deal right.

    I couldn?ÇÖt ask for more. A++!
