Interesting. I came across that brand when I ran a search for motherboards, not long after reading your post. Will follow your advice, for sure. Was firing blind when I built the old rig and had the good fortune of hitting all the right places. But costly mistakes are mistakes I'd rather avoid. Posting here and reading other people's advice is helping greatly with this repair/overhaul project. :)

Research x3 is the key to a long life happy purchase. :DL

Not only did they send me a new chip, but an entirely new retail box! I've not had any problems since. It was fantastic, and things like that are the reason that I stay loyal to certain companies.

I'm with you on product loyality. I have always had good luck with Gigabyte mobo's. Asus would be my next choice. ASRock is I think a company people are going to say GOOD things about in the future.

Heck. They already are. If you read the reviews. :yep:
