    Isn't this supposed to be a notebook forum?

    Anyhow, to answer your question.... Asus is THE number one motherboard maker in the world, as far as I know. Their boards are always praised for their quality and stability. In my opinion... Asus's boards are foolproof; if you want to tweak and mod your computer...look somewhere else. It's hard to screw up an Asus board...LOL.

    Your friend's a bonehead and deserves to stay at Best Buy for the rest of his life. :D
    Actually, AuroraS is correct- Asus is the #1 motherboard maker in the world. Excellent hardware, up to date components, awesome tech support, and very fast update postings on their website.

    Don't worry...you're not bothering anyone...it's just weird to see a motherboard question on a notebook forum...haha.

    But yeah...Asus makes some of, if not the BEST motherboards. In the motherboard world, you can pretty much say "Asus" is a synonym for "reliability" :p

    Your friend been playing holdem with the geek squad peeps too long. Been using asus mobo's for almost 5 years in pc's now explicitly. Out of a couple thousand sold we have had alot of rma but less rma then i would like to see so i stick with them. They are a little on the expensive side and have their problems but asus is very responisble in terms of support. If you are talking about laptops then most certanly its going to be asus motherboard

    I agree! Asus have been hands down the only MB i rely on. I have lots of scrap computer in the closet that are couple of years old. I bet they'd work if i reassemble the component, they're just outdated.
