I see.  Given the almost insignificant price differential between highest 
quality & garbage mbos (when factored out over my 4 year average machine 
life), I have always been very careful to pick good circuitry that supports
ECC ram.  In 1998 i chose an ASUS P2L97S & have been overclocking it since 
day one.

As I am overdue for a new main machine, I wonder what are considered the 
really good mbo brands these days.
