Bummer, here's to getting this replaced promptly then
I also upgraded my gaming rig, installed some more memory for a total of 8GB's of DDR2/800 using all Kingston HyperX sticks.
I then got a pair of Samsung, Spinpoint, 1TB SATA drives and installed them on the remaining onboard SATA ports and then created a 2TB RAID Zero array. Installed Windows 7 RC1, 7100 and away I went.
Dual Booting with Vista x64 on one RAID Array and Windows 7 on the other array...

Bought 6 2TB HD's to replace the 6 1TB HD's in my home file server.
Went from ICH10 RAID5 to ZFS RAIDZ2
Also went from Windows 2008 Server to FreeNAS.
Finally finished copying 4TB of data back to it last night.

Using the onboard SATA controller but just using it for ports not for RAID.
Using gigabit on both the server and my desktop.
I briefly thought today that something was wrong with the server because file transfers were extremely slow. Turns out it's the POS NIC in the XPS M1330. Compared it to another E5400 laptop and my desktop and file transfer were normal. I've noticed this same behavior previously with two other XPS M1330's.

Hey Philip, if you are going to post Mac stuff then I guess I have to post my Amiga stuff too, hehe
Just purchased another motherboard to try out, the Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H.
Just a nice mid-range 790GX Motherboard with the SB750 Southbridge.
I'm going to use my older MSI board for my fathers upgraded system soon, just need to get a decent CPU, PS Unit/Case and GPU.

Bought 2 1GB PCI express cards for my XPS M1330 (Only has 100Meg NICS that are flaky as hell).
File transfers to my server are now fast and reliable!
Thinking about getting that ATI 5870.....
