I sell Biostar AMD FM1 boards all day long, zero problems. *Every* board maker has occasional issues, but it's your right and opinion to complain over legitimate issues, but no real reason to totally **** on the company as a whole. I've used ECS boards before as well with very few issues. Asus boards have worked well for me in the past, only issue with them is their RMA system sucks more than the intern(s) during the Clinton Administration.

Maybe the intel ones suck

For example, your netbook won't accept 8GB of RAM - if you're only running 4GB and aren't planning to upgrade, the fix is useless to you, so why tempt fate?

Might as well do the BIOS update while it's in warranty, instead of waiting for when you are going to update to 8GB and then have a problem.

Doesn't have anything to do with brand anymore, I find. These days, no matter what brand you choose; there is a 50/50 chance it will either work, or not. Quality control for all manufacturers has tanked.

That's not true at all. I've built computers for friends, family, and companies for years using Asus boards 95% of the time, and I've yet to come across one that went bad. I've had one build using an MSI board that had issues, but I wasn't fully convinced the motherboard was the culprit.

Regardless, if you are having a 50% failure rate no matter what brand, then I'd have to say it's you that are causing the problems.

The windows CPU rating index is higher on the gigabyte board compared to my biostar
