I would never recommend a mobo, or any puter part, that has problems it
shouldn't.  I do hard drives because no matter the brand, we have likely
all had one to fail.  A few years ago, I had my first WD failure.  Do I
think badly of WD, not really.  I would still buy one and have bought
one since that one failed me.  I'm sure one of my Maxtors or one of my
Samsungs will die eventually too.  These are things that are normal. 
Mobos on the other hand, they are either good or they are junk.  If you
get a bad one, it will not be stable and do something funky and
generally drive the owner nuts.  If it is a good one, they tend to last
for ages unless something external, like a cheap piece of crap power
supply, messes one up.  Other than that, they generally last a good
while, if you got good cooling of course.  ;-) 

Awesome to me means it does what it should and then some.  It has to be
more than 'pretty' or something to.  lol  Looks ain't everything. 

Yea, last I.Q. test put me at about 150 or so.  Some days I wonder where
that is tho.  ROFL
