A week ago I ordered my 8RDA+ that has been eagerly awaited in the postoffice, today I recieved ny salery and got my package. My first thought when I opened the box - WTF, why do they bundle SATA cables with a 8RDA+?
I soon realised they had sent me a 8RDA3+ with one of the most expensive bundles, Rounded IDE cables, SATA power and data, two onboard NIC - only 100mbps, the only thing that I didn't get that would be in a complete bundle was the SPDIF extenion that I don't use anyway.
What do I do, keep it or send it back for a 8RDA+? Why I'm asking is it seems to only have the MCP (no -T) southbridge and also I'm unsure how it does in performance. When it comes to pci slot nr6 I could care less, the only pci slot I would use anyway is for a better soundcard or SCSI (doubt the latter).
