Update:
Well I am happy to report that about 5 minutes ago a "NEW" Ultra-D arrived on my door step!
I never did receive and explanation of how the mix up happened even though i did ask several times.....but not to worry, it's been dealt with and i have a new replacement mobo so i am happy, and even though what happened did annoy me and should not have happened in the first place thanks must go to Mittoni for their speedy work and efforts in rectifying the situation with DFI.
Revision of this one is: R.AE0
I'll report on how it performs as soon as i get this one shut down and the boards changed over.
