I went to the local computer shop to return this mb today. I picked an
A-bit mb, and it is working very smoothly... I was very disappointed with
my first D+ mb, whcih were replaced five times (at least) and just worked
less than two years... I was very disappointed with the new D+ mb and SOYO
tech support this time again. Before I leave
I should not forget to say thanks for FGeorge for his help to the SOYO mb
problem. Bye Bye SOYO...
