Humm... and my experience here is similiar, but in the opposite direction, I won't touch a Supermicro or Tyan board, but ASUS has been rock solid for us, sans occasional problems with BIOS code. And for a ``Tiawanese in-expensive board'' we do a big volume in Soltek, have had outstanding luck with them, and since we are an official distributor we get top nouch service when the rare RMA comes up. They are a little late with thier Dual PII BX board, but given the good luck we have always had with the other products I am going to give a few a ``test drive''. Care to expand on the ``marginal hardware problems''? -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
