[citation][nom]VioMeTriX[/nom]any really good tech enthusiast wouldnt use msi anyways....theyd go with evga, asus, and some supermicro products... msi is just too low end or mainstream for me. being the fact that i ran the rma dept for a computer company i worked for, we had to send msi products back for repair or replacement 5 to 1 versus other products for other manufacturers. so say what you want, i am stating a failure rate that is practical in the industry[/citation]
Exactly right and agree there, and reguardless of trolls voting down facts are facts
[citation][nom]zipzoomflyhigh[/nom]I've used 6 MSI boards and currently have a MSI HD4850. Never had a problem with any of them.[/citation]
You either work for MSI or are lucky
[citation][nom]zipzoomflyhigh[/nom]You recommend EVGA, a company that just started making mobo's a couple years ago over MSI, ROFL.[/citation]
ROFL @ MSI being recomended
As for ASUS - I must have sold atleast 1000 P5GC-MX, P5GC-MX/1333, P5KPL-CM and P5KPL-AMPS over the last few years and only seen ~5 with any issues, for a budget motherboard there second to none, and have a decent Intel chipset.
