note for lifetime warranty choosers... usually there's a missing word when ppl say lifetime warranty... they forgot to put the limited... tat means the warranty only valid until the product is out of the market(stop production/EOL)... so u won get any warranty for RDRAMs no more... even if it's Kingston... icon_idea.gif and usually computer products go EOL within a year or so... other than PSU la... biggrin.gif

I would prefer Quality to the max... which means i don even need to RMA it or the RMA cases are very very low... so far the products i bought never needed any RMA even though it's easy for me to do it... lucky me... brows.gif

TRUE!!!

LIFETIME WARRANTY IS NOT FOREVER!!! it only valid as long as the product is still available (not discontinued)...

This is a personal experience...well, not really, my friend's actually...he thought he can claim lifetime warranty after 3 years but it turns out that once the product is discontinued, it's not entitled for warranty anymore. We almost wanna call the police in the shop until the boss shows us the lifetime warranty user agreement.

Indeed. For limited lifetime warranty, manufacturer will cover the same type of products as long as it is not EOL.

i.e PCI-E VGA with another PCI-E VGA. This is based on my experience helping a guy who bought BFG products a year ago from LYN forumer but claim warranty to BFG through my assistance.
he manage to get replacement from 7900GS to 7950GT in just 2 weeks time.

Since Life-time warranty is a misnomer.

Would go for warranty of at least 3 years with quality.

I basically judge it by its price. Well, they are somehow inter-related i guess..

Whether it is 1 year or 3 year or even Lifetime, it still depends on whether you need them or not of course. For me, i will most probably get those that have at least 1 year warranty and getting something that is more than that are actually additional/extra benefits.

This is because, by the end of the year, i would most probably looking into another option for upgrade (given i have the budget). Besides that, if the price of a particular product are way more than the other even though it had 2 years extra warranty, i will not take it as well. Its more like judging the price ratio against the additional benefits given..

Of course, at the end, everyone would expect the product they bought are having good quality. Who would want to get a bad quality stuff and RMA them all the time.. tongue.gif

1. Vendor support (warranty alone is not enuf), 1 to 1 replacement, 24 hours exchange ect.
2. Warranty period (3 or more years) - covers the the time it takes me to change or upgrade the software (related to my job it is)
3. Performance.
4. Price - not really a factor. The budget is. You always get what you pay for.
