Another good reason to stay away from ASUS beside not being a open-source

Well, I was speaking figuratively. Actually, it was eaten by snakes...
Well, actually, the motherboard just died after a few weeks without
any special effects. Asus quality does not seem to be really high. The
board is cheap and has 3 years warranty, though. I should be receiving
a new board any moment. Now I hope the board didn't take the processor
down with it.
Note that the mpbios of this board has some quirks, which we (that is,
kettenis@) had to work around. So while -current runs fine, 3.9 does
not.
