The other one is that even dealers don't seem to bother with
anti-static precautions. Look at eBay for MoBO in good working
order, sat on a nylon carpet for the eBay mug shot. I once went
into a small dealer fro some ram - he brought out a box of loose SIMS and
stirred through the
contains as though it was a box og nails!

Good points.


It's hard enough to find a good retailer of new hardware.

those boards are a generation old already and not even sold any more
probably.

When looking for a motherboard, make sure it has at least 6 sata300 ports,
2-3 PCI slots, and hopefully a PCI-EX 4 slot with some PCI-EX1 slots( just
in case they ever come out with anything that works on them). I like the 2
boards below.

ASUS M2N-E nForce570 Ultra Socket AM2 Mainboard, 4xDDR2-800/667/533,
1xPCI-Ex16, 1xPCI-Ex4, 2xPCI-Ex1, 3xPCI, 2xEIDE, 6xSATA300, 8Ch Audio,
Gigabit LAN, 10xUSB2.0, 2000 HT FSB, ATX $124.84

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe nForce570 SLi Socket AM2 Mainboard,
4xDDR2-800/667/533, 2xPCI-Ex16, 2xPCI-Ex1, 3xPCI, 2xEIDE, 6xSATA300, 8Ch
Audio, 2xGigabit LAN, 10xUSB2.0, 2x1394 Firewire, 2000 HT FSB, ATX $180.84


I've hairy nairy seen a bad word about Asus and MSI boardsand they have
detailed manuals. I have used both without problems. Though I did get my
Gigabyte board running stable, it took a bit of nail biting before that
happened( and I cursed Rod Speed for good measure. Naturally, he will say
I'm a Pig ignorant drivel, Mindlessly silly ****wit child and mangled for
doing so(just to save Rod some typing(you know, cut and paste)))
Abit seems to be fairly popular, but I don't know if their manuals are as
good as asus/msi or sparse like AsRock.

I get more replys than you do,

Not from your peers, because anyone who disagrees with you or anyone
who even says something you disagree with becomes the target of your
flagrant insults. People who don't know better don't count.
Corse you never ever do anything like that yourself,

Hopefully not that badly.
 
If you're going to bash others for being stupid, incompetent fools, you
really should learn how to spell "incompetent", Rod.

Yep.

So pathetic that the best it can manage is spelling flames.

Cant get any more pathetic than that, child.

That's for persistently insulting people you will never meet
in person.

Worse is being unable to act civilized over the Internet, in my
opinion. I'm not talking about your frequent spelling errors, I'm
talking about your persistent insults/attempts to degrade people you
will never meet in person.
