Thank you Raju!
Well, if the motherboard really fails on my machine, I usually don't
have 2 days time to wait for the dell dudes to show up - I just go to
my store, buy a new one and I'm resuming normal operations within a
few hours. I'm willing to take the risk of a failing board and have to
invest additional 200 Euros.

Are you sure ? According to everything I've read/heard the opposite is true.
Less heat for the AMD's...
Thank you & best regards,
