I would never recommend a mobo, or any puter part, that has problems it shouldn't. I do hard drives because no matter the brand, we have likely all had one to fail. A few years ago, I had my first WD failure. Do I think badly of WD, not really. I would still buy one and have bought one since that one failed me. I'm sure one of my Maxtors or one of my Samsungs will die eventually too. These are things that are normal. Mobos on the other hand, they are either good or they are junk. If you get a bad one, it will not be stable and do something funky and generally drive the owner nuts. If it is a good one, they tend to last for ages unless something external, like a cheap piece of crap power supply, messes one up. Other than that, they generally last a good while, if you got good cooling of course. ;-) Awesome to me means it does what it should and then some. It has to be more than 'pretty' or something to. lol Looks ain't everything. Yea, last I.Q. test put me at about 150 or so. Some days I wonder where that is tho.
