I need to build another system and I wanted to get input from the forum on motherboard choices. I've usually gone with ASUS, ABit, or Supermicro in the past and have generally been quite happy in paying a little more for top quality boards. But the AOPEN AX63Pro looks quite appealing: 133 MHz FSB support, Ultra ATA 66, jumperless. It's also way cheap, at $79 at TC Computers. Here's 2 good reviews of it also: anandtech.com www2.sharkyextreme.com Has anyone used this MB? How about the Via chipset? Are there a lot of hidden headaches trying to get things to work with it? Is it a hassle to leave the well-trodden path of the Intel BX MBs? I've never bought AOpen before. Do they make reliable products? Thx! Plaz
