i never said that they were all bad. in fact i never said any
were at all. i said that this is what i have heard. now i see no reason to buy a motherboard from a series that has a bad reputation when there are plenty of other reputable manufacturers like MSI, DFI, Gigabyte and so on. i can not speak for all the motherboards and i have no problem with Asus's general level of quality, just their s939 boards. the few i have encountered were not my favourite experiences of pc's. once again i re-iterate, why would it be a good idea to buy a motherboard from a series in disrepute when there are plenty of others without such blemishes to their name?
