Hmmh, I guess the details might depend on where you bought the
motherboard, but I ordered mine via 1-800-DIGITAL (I'm not sure this
is still possible---it was back in Dec 94...). I had mine replaced
twice (partially my own fault) and had no troubles doing so. Just
called up 1-800-DIGITAL and asked for an RMA; they shipped me a new
board and I had 10 days after the arrival of the new one to ship back
the old one. Certainly nothing I could complain about. If I remember
correctly, the warranty covered 1yr.
