> I'm looking at the ASUS P2-B MoBo as a possible upgrade. Does anyone have > any comments on this unit, or, general thoughts about ASUS products? ASUS make some of the *best* m/b's on the market. They are well-known for reliability, stability, & high-quality workmanship. [www.anandtech.com & www.ljsystems.com swear by ASUS for these reasons]. I have bought several used ASUS boards which are working fine years later; OTOH, I've had even Intel mainboards give-out on me. ASUS includes the excellent Award bios. Usually you pay a bit more for ASUS hardware, maybe 30% more than for an equivalent Abit m/b. Also, ASUS has just released boards w/ a 'jumperless' feature [P3B-F] similar to that which has made Abit king of overclockers; in addition, ASUS just released a Slot A board for Athlons [K7M]. IMO, "$aving money" is never a great idea on a computer system, if your data is of any importance to you. Of all the parts to a computer system, the system mainboard is of highest importance [a good drive can still be scrambled by a bad controller; you're looking at a hard-knocks student of this fact]. Save your $$ on the keyboard, mouse, & monitor; don't skimp on M/B, drive(s), and power-supply; your data will thank you ;D (...but if you use your computer as much as I do, you'll quickly decide not to skimp on keyboard, mouse, or monitor either ;D) Curious about the people moderating your messages?
