IMO you should be weary of the motherboard u buy....a bad quality motherboard can makeur life hell..i am talking from personal experience.

I can agree on the motherboard problem.... I had one that just didn't seem to be compatable with my GeForce 4 Ti4200 (I guess other people had the same problem). It would lock the system in a blue screen in Windows XP, which under normal circumstances was almost non-existent for me. At one point, it completely crashed when I was playing Clive Barker's Undying... and completely corrupted the hard drive to the point of it was smoking when I turned the computer on.... And it wasn't the hard drive's fault, because it was the third one that went out on me with that system.I later got an ATI Radeon x800 Pro, and haven't had any problems since *knock on wood*
