Should I wait for the Venice or go for the DFI? Do official MSI reps exist here?

I love the feature-rich Neo4 SLI, but the board  (along with my winnie) is just pissing me off!  I chucked about $1500 on my new rig and (of course) can't clock over 215 FSB.   Anyway, my board just recently died after a little over a month's use and I had to RMA it (thank god for newegg).  I just recently turned into a World of Warcraft addict, and being without my computer is hell.  I won't have the new MSI board back until sometime next week, and I'm considering buying a DFI nF4-SLI-DR and selling my MSI neo4 SLI in hopes of having a more stable, better overclocking system.
My question is, is there any reason to keep our hopes up that the mem controller on the venice will solve our really crappy OC'ing capabilities, or should I head over to DFI and change my loyalty for someone who seems to have their act together and knows how to get a bios update out fast.  Like I said, I love the features of the MSI, but DFI seems to care about their customers a whole bunch - I feel very disconnected from MSI ( I don't think that MSI even has an official rep here in their forums - unlike DFI-street.com )
Anway, I'm just naturally pissed that my Overclocking focused MSI board won't overclock , I don't have my MSI board because it died, and dadgumit, I need my WoW fix ...

The rules clearely state we are just a user to user forum. Too bad you've had such a bad experience, but if you feel you've been neglected and are not happy with a product, then there's nothing stopping you from making your decision. We'll always be here. Understand your frustration, but your threats to go with another manufacturer kinda falls on deaf ears. In other words you're barking up the wrong tree, and alienating other users.
As far as your question, it is possible things may change, but the only way to know for sure is wait and see what happens. It is what I do in most cases. I've gone through the early adoption phase, not my scene nowadays. Sometimes it's the price you pay, when you want to play.

  • Should I wait for the release of FF 4 to install on my new laptop?

    I have a 3.x version of FF on my "old" laptop, but I bought a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and want to install FF4 on it. Q: should I wait for the full release of FF 4 to install on the new machine, or would it be "better" to download FF 3.x first?

    Personally I would use the Firefox 4 release candidate.
    The current Firefox 4 release candidate will become the official Firefox 4 release providing no bugs are found that force a new version to be created. If there is a second release candidate, those using the first release candidate will automatically be updated to the latest version. It is still undergoing quality assurance testing but so far no showstopper bugs have been found.

  • How do I call the subvi in parallel with main VI. Main vi should not wait for the subvi

    I have a subvi which takes the parameters like port name, transmit rate, message to transmit over serial port and Start/stop flag. This subvi calls VISA write vi in a loop continuously, till the Start/Stop flag is false, to write a message to serial port at a mentioned transmit rate. This subvi will be called from another VI. Actual intension is to transmit different messages to different ports continuously and stop them when required. In this senario, please provide solution for below points:
    1. How do I call the subvi in parallel with main VI. Main vi should not wait for the subvi.
    2. How does main vi can control already running subvi in parallel to it. In the above example I would like to start the subvi from main vi when start\stop flag is true and would like to stop it when the flag is false.
    3. How do I call the subVI with one set of parameters from main vi, when same subVI is running with other set of parameters already from main vi(subvi being called in a case with different set of parameters each time when the case is called). Means, how do I keep track of reentrant subvi (different calls to same vi)from the same main vi.

  • I am about to buy my first Macbook Pro, should I wait for the possibility for a 2015 macbook, or just get the most recent model currently? (9-22-14)

    I am about to buy my first Macbook Pro, should I wait for the possibility for a 2015 macbook, or just get the most recent model currently? (9-22-14)

    No one knows if there will be a new model and if so, when that would be. However, there always will be something bigger, better, and newer around the corner, so you'd be waiting forever.
    Buy it when you want or need it.
    FWIW, here are the specs of the latest models (which happen to be mid 2014):

  • I'm considering getting an Iphone. Should I wait for the newer model, or get the 4S?

    Hi. My upgrade is coming up for my phone plan in July. I really want to upgrade to some sort of smart phone and have narrowed it down to either an HTC, or an Iphone. I need a new Ipod anyway since I have a second gen Itouch so an Iphone looks like a good deal. I am aware that apple releases new versions of their iphone every year so my question is should I wait until the next model comes out and get it, wait until the next model comes out but get a 4S that drops in price, or get the 4S right away when I become available for my upgrade. I am a sprint user btw. Thanks for your help.

    Waiting (or not) is up to you... no one here knows your situation, wants, needs, etc.  Apple has not announced anything and it's not certain they will release a new iPhone this year.
    All that being said, if it were me, I would wait a few months.

  • Should i wait for the new i pad or buy the current one

    should i get the new ipad 2 or should i wait for the ipad 3?

    No iPad 3 has been announced yet. If the current iPad does what you need, and you can afford it, then you might as well get one now and start getting use out of it - unless you want to wait an unknown number of months for a un-spec'd/unnounced product

    Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up? I tried the steps for a factory reset given on this site, but it still does not want to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Hello otter314!
    Let's take a look into this to see if we can figure out what happened. When did this begin? What's the software version of the device? Do you remember what was happening with the device right before this started? Please supply me with some additional information, I'm happy to help with a resolution!

  • Should I wait for the next generation of intel before I purchase my Mac

    I use FCP Studio at work. I also use Studio 8 (Macromedia), but on a PC. I wan't to purchase a Mac sometime in the next year and run FCPS and S8 on it. (Any way they would both run on a laptop?) All of this talk of Universal crossgrades, etc. has me confused. Should I wait for the software to catch up with the hardware? Should I wait for the G5 intels? I'm in no hurry and want to make the right investment. I teach, so we have several different models of Mac - laptops, G4s, and G5s. I need to understand all of this crossgrade stuff before I purchase my own or the school purchase anymore computers.
    I would really appreciate advice from the experts.
    PowerMac G5, (7,3)   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    just to address some of your points:
    All of this talk of Universal crossgrades, etc. has me confused. Should I wait for the software to catch up with the hardware?
    since Apple first introduced the move to Intel there have been some clever blighters installing OS X on their PC's and Windows on their Intel Mac's ... not to mention that it is now never been easier for PC developers to port their software to the Mac platform
    so who knows, there may be a possibility of dual booting your Mac to run both FCP in OSX and Studio 8 in Windows, or if the developers port it, running Studio 8 natively on the Mac ... but not yet.
    there's also speculation about software virtualization, whereby you might run your app regardless of the host OSX ... but again, not yet.
    in the meantime the G5 Quads are spectacular machines in their own right ... wish I had one.
    Should I wait for the G5 intels?
    the laptop MacIntels are getting rave reviews, its safe to assume that the MacIntel desktops/towers will be even more impressive, however the publically announced timeframe for their release is not before the end of the year ... although we're all hopeful that they'll come sooner
    if your current systems meet your needs, if you have no special reason for upgrading, like you are losing work because your facilites are not up to spec (or you just can't wait and have money burning a hole in your pocket) then it would be prudent to wait and see.
    let the bleeding edge pioneers forge the way Jackie, wait for the dust to settle ... the second generation are usually much improved over the first

  • Final Cut Studio 2. Should I wait for 3? And which new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I'm in need of some advice. I have used Final Cut pro since it's early days having owned 1,3 and 4.5HD. I also used Motion 1 a fair bit. My video editing worked declined in the last 3 years so I didn't upgrade my software and computer as it wasn't necessary. BUT things are getting busy for me again and I have quite a few projects to complete in the next year and motion 1 and FCP 4.5HD just don't make the grade anymore (actually I love 4.5 but motion 1 was always buggy). the 17 isn't out of my budget but in terms of convenience I don't want to go that route again (I now have a 17inch PB from 2004). My questions...
    1. Should I wait for FCS 3? I heard it will be released this OCT. I don't want to have to pay 700bucks foor an upgrade to FCS3 only a few months after I get 2. Is 2 plenty good enough?
    2. Should I get the 15inch 2.66 with dedicated 9600/256mb or 2.8 with dedicated 9600/512 graphics card? I'm thinking the 2.8.
    apart from this point there isn't much difference between the 2 computers (along with L2 cache)

    1) There is no set release date for FCS 3 (sad but true) in fact there is no "official" information anywhere that confirms FCS3's existence ... whatever you've heard or read is pure speculation and basing purchasing decisions on such might be a tad risky. My advice would be that if you need FCS2's functionality right now then buy it now, especially if you are working commercially (ie you're going to get paid for this) ... but if you don't need it yet then common sense would be to bide your time.
    2) Despite your reservations, get the 17" MBP. There are no current 15" MBP's that are a good long term purchase suitable for professional editing work. How long do you expect to use this purchase? 1 or 2, maybe 3 years? or 5 years? Sooner or later you will want or need to connect a bigger, better, faster storage system to your laptop in order to keep up with your editing needs, especially as we hurtle towards affordable Digital Cinema solutions for consumers and pro's alike. NONE of the current 15" laptop lineup for Apple offers ANY suitable form of expansion facility. Sadly they have dropped their "Pro" appeal, at least with respect to Pro video editing needs.

  • Should i wait for ipad 3

  • CS5 Premium Bundle 50% off or should I wait for CS6?

    Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium going for $849... half off the asking price?
    Is it worth it to purchase or should i wait for CS6?

    Whether or not to buy RIGHT NOW depends on a couple of things:
    1. Do you NEED the software now, or can you wait about 2 1/2 months for CS6 to ship?
    2. Are you upgrading from a very old version or starting out fresh with Adobe Creative Suite?
    Another thing to consider is whether or not you're interested in the Adobe Creative Cloud, which is a current service offering but will be coming into full effect with CS6. It will be a subscription service but it looks like it will be an incredible value for the user who typically upgrades with each version and uses the software on a near-daily basis.
    If you need/want a box software and don't plan to upgrade again for a long time, then perhaps buying CS5.5 right now while it's 1/2 off is a good deal for you. You might also want to wait until March 1st, because Adobe has a 30 day return policy and you may want/need to consider that as an option if a bunch of new buzz builds about CS6. Also, sometimes early March has been a cutoff date for free upgrades to the next version when it's released in April (again, this is based on past scenarios...no one will be able to guarantee anything about these considerations).
    I typically upgrade for each full version, which has run me about $500-$700 on average each time (from CS2 to CS3, then CS4 and now CS5). I did not upgrade to CS5.5 because I didn't really need to, so my cost for CS5 has been about $25 per month for the past 2 years (but without an upgrade to CS5.5). The Creative Cloud, which is slated to start at $49 (whatever that means), looks to include a LOT more stuff and be a reasonable option for my type of usage, so I'm waiting to see how that turns out.

  • I have an iPad 2 and is it worth upgrading from iOS 5.1 to 6.0 and should I wait for further stable updates ?

    I have an iPad 2 and is it worth upgrading from iOS 5.1 to 6.0 And should I wait for further stable updates?  As I have there are app compatibility and security issues on ios 6.

    Most users haven't had problems with iOS 6, however, some have. I'm still using iOS 5.1.1 on my iPad 2. There is a beta version iOS 6.1 being tested. Don't know when it will be released. When it is released, I'll update.

  • Should I wait for the refresh?

    Hi,
    I'm 14 year old filmmaker.
    Around a month ago my late 2006 imac broke down, and I am now without a Mac desktop. I am seriously considering a mac mini, because it's the cheapest, upgradable, mac out there. I would be using a lot of graphics-card hungry applications such as Adobe Premire and After Effects. I heard bad things about the mini's current Intel HD 4000 graphics, and wanted to now if it's worth it waiting up to another 4-6 months tops for a POSSIBLE mac mini refresh. (New wifi, Haswell  Graphics.)
    I am pretty desperate for a computer for my filmmaking. I've already been waiting for about 4 months, and  I was really disappointed to hear apple didn't refresh the mini at their October 22nd. event.
    I just don't have the cash for a new imac.
    Buy the Mini now?
    Or wait until the refresh?
    (Any guesses about that release?)
    Thanks.

    No one here has any idea when a new Mini
    will be released or any idea of what sort of configurations
    will be available.
    FWIW, the Haswell line can have two types of integrated
    graphics, Iris and Iris Pro.  Which will be in the new Mini
    or if there will be any choice is unknown. 
    If you need to know if either graphics options would be useful,
    Google Iris nad Iris Pro and see what others are sayng on
    machines already released with these.
