yeah, since u got the board from that shop, i think you will be under their mercy. i also feel that the gigabyte distributors might not be following strictly what gigabyte had put up at their website.

one of the forummer already received his ud7-b3 and nationtech was saying no stock. so i guessed something is wrong somewhere.

stasio, that's why i said that something is wrong. maybe nationtech just not serious enough to secure some stocks.

actually 3 main distributors for gigabyte:

Nationtech, ScanArt and SDS (if im not mistaken)

good luck to u Bliz, unlike me with no ETA

oya, perhaps u r right. i think there is another one. oh well, maybe i'm wrong then.

nationtech no stock for ud7-b3.

just called nation tech kuching. no stock as the previous shipment had no ud7 inside.

niclasteoh just collected the only ud7-b3 from nationtech kuching. so at least he can start to set up my system after this.

update: Rejected the ud7-b3. got a faulty board with a deformed pcie-16_2 (bent and not properly aligned). Really upset since i have to wait again, perhaps till end of april. if only i don't need a pci slot, i will be going for something else.

it is the z68x-ud7-B3. the same price as the p67a-ud7-B3. Besides the price, the design is similar and no built in hdmi or DVI ports to utilize the IGP.
