/me *shrugs*  Not every company puts out good stuff all the time.  My  
dad's ASUS mobo we got him back in the late nineties was reliable, but  
it was a rev 1 board, and the VIA chipsets on it were crap.  All the  
ASUS boards I've had have been very good for my purposes.

ABit does put out some good stuff.  One of the mobo's of my dad's I  
sold was an ABit OC'ers wet dream--and it was a server board.  Very  
well-regarded in the reviews I looked at to give some context to my  
eBay listing.

Rev 1 boards and systems seem to be the most problematic across all  
manufacturing lines, IME.
