one thing I will say about asus is they have the worst support that i've ever seen from any company/person/anything.. i'd rather they not have tech support and make prices cheaper... it's that bad...

asus is pretty much the bottom of the pile of all the brand name mobo makers now

really sad for all those who still have faith in them
they cheap out on capacitors too

MSI have major problems once in a while too


really, reputation of mobo makers have to be updated almost monthly and ppl need to be informed of how sucky they are now

sad...

DFI is the number 1 enthusiast board now (coming out with a glow-in-the-dark Pentium M desktop board!!!)

chaintech and epox the following candidates for a good mobo
then gigabyte is the all well rounded package with good support and good products

what.. have capacitors fallen off your mobo because that amd burnt up? Why do you agree?

I refuse to accept that DFI is the best and asus is the worst.. I respect your opinion, but don't ACCEPT it

no they are cheap.. if you wiggle them even a little bit by accident they seem like they are going to break off.

you can't skew a fact.. it's still a groundbreaking feature, no matter who talks about it.. and wtf are you doing playing with the capacitors...
