[QUOTE="solas989, post: 632794, member: 87399"] LOL --> I only buy Asus Motherboards (along with MSI and Gigabyte). Never had an issue, but I know alot of people who do. For US people, I know my setup works like a charm, I have built several HTPC (~1100 total) using my setup as a base and adjusting from there what the end user wants. I always recommend MP. v:D Also, avoid 64bit OS, the codecs are not up to par imo for 64bit and there are more avaiable for 32bit, and if using mainly as HTPC, you wont need >4GB of RAM anyway (I use 2GB el cheapo Kingston and it does well). Therefore, the "benefits" of a 64bit os seem risky to me. But that all depends on ones setups too and how advanced one is technically. Finally, I suggest buying "mainstream" products. I know "off brands" can save money and sometimes work just as well, but again, unless one knows...it can cause headaches down the road...I know...been there. Solas [/QUOTE]
