[dba-Tech] Reliable mobo maker for Athlon?

Wow, I thought I was the only person in the world who'd bought a Soyo. Not
made that mistake again, got a high end Intel board with my P4 when I built
that. Trying to navigate Soyo's site for drivers was next to impossible...

I think I've used about 2 dozen ASUS/Athlon combos and they are all good. I
use that combo in the higher end workstations and servers. I used the MSI
MBs when I needed to cut the overall cost down. I've also used some Soyos
and a couple of other lesser knowns but only for home use. Got them because
the were cheap.

I'd use ASUS again in a heartbeat.

I've got an ASUS MOBO in my Athlon box and have never had an issue with it.

When I build my PVR, I'm more than likely going to go with and ASUS MOBO
again.
