pwned because DFI is usually cheaper than Asus but uses better quality components and generally more stable even with moderate overclocking

better support too

the multiplier unlocking technology will be adapted by lots of mobo manufacturers soon

yea.. so I hear the k8v is one big fat pos.. some guy on hard forum was trying to sell it to me but I read too many bad things...

I haven't seen any bad asus intel boards, but there are a lot of AMD one's it seems.. the A7V coming to mind the most... *hugs p4p800*

im not an ASUS nut... i'm an MSI fan.. i've had about 3 MO Bo's by MSI and i liked them all... they are a little rusty on overclocking... but once you get the hang of it, it isn't too hard...

but those so called over clockers Mo Bo's are truely amazing.. *wishes he had one of those*
