<< For 2 years the user puts up with the headaches that accompany that "low dollar" motherboard. That's enough to make anyone come away a non believer (and loose lots of hair). Life is too short for it. >> What headaches do you refer to? It's not like the thing falls apart, the only problems are if you upgrade, which probably less then 1% of computer owners do. << It's hard for me to imagine a user whose needs are so simple that instability is tolerated as necessary but I suppose such users are out there. >> I don't know what stability issues you're talking about. Are you suggesting that the computers from dell, gateway, compaq, etc etc who all use integrated boards in certain line ups are unstable? I myself have built a variety of pcs with integrated stuff and have never had any stability issues.
