Oh I really like the Sabertooth Motherboards, not really an Over clockers dream but very rugged and not likely to fail in harsh environments. If I were in hot sandy environments thats the board for me.
I am jealous of everyone who is able to order now.... |

Thank guys!
I was moved to Stage 1 Early this morning and I'm hoping it'll speed through the stages! Perhaps some of the seasoned members know the average time between Stages? I'm sure it depends on DS workloads, material availability, etc. I'm actually going to go in for a local pickup (I live about 2 hours away) so I cant wait for the green light to pick it up!!

I think mine went to stage 4 pretty quickly then it was 7 days to the next stage. The testing and inspection stages are the most time consuming. The DS guys have stated that they won't sacrifice quality and thats a good deal.

Another Question I have is I noticed on other member's post that there is a Stage 7, but in my email order it only explains up to stage 6. Is stage 7 the shipping stage? Since I am picking up the order will that show up as a "Come pick up your computer" stage?
Thanks! |

By the way, does anyone know if they update all the bios/drivers/patches for OS/graphics/or wifi cards before it is packaged? Thanks for the info guys!

Yes. We don't apply Windows updates as they are a real drag on our network resources, but, in terms of drivers/BIOS/firmware we do update them.
