I dont buy anything but ABit.  Had a BH6, BX6, got a KT7 on Amy's box... the
only *problem* I ever had was with my current i815-based cheapie board with
integrated sound that my Celeron system is built on top of - it has a 
power problem with the USB ports, so I had to buy a powered USB hub and
hang everything off that.  Other than that, its like every other ABit board
I've had - it JUST WORKS.
