Haha very true.

I don't think its too big of a deal...the only real differences are that the MSI has onboard audio and LAN. Since I am using a SoundBlaster Live 5.1, I dont need the onboard audio, and since I'm using wireless LAN, I dont need the LAN. However, what I did like is that Alienware provided me with what seems like an extra audio card...but I am not sure why...why would they do that?

I might call them just to find out why they did switch motherboards. Considering I might switch to using cables for LAN, they should have provided what I ordered.
