No one will convince me otherwise. They make the best motherboards, graphics cards (although they don't make a pro or uktra version =( ), drivers, etc.
Plus they make the highest quality parts. Asus rocks!

Why should someone try to convince you otherwise?

There“s no argument there!

Have you thought about the possibility that the problem might be from Windows itself not ASUS?

i've had 4 asus boards and the only one i ever had a problem with is the one i have now p3v4x and that is the via chipset will not run agp4x otherwise great boards
P5A-B PI 200@262 105fsb
P2L97 PII 266@300 75 fsb
P2B PII 350@467 133fsb
the same P2B P3 450@600 133fsb
p3v4x P3 550e@814 148fsb
so if you want to overclock stable ,ASUS seems to be the way to go.
so with all this overclocking it cant be luck!!!

2. Coca-Cola

Griz since you work at gamespy what is this mandatory update about ???? i've tried to update several times, but it takes forever, can't I just download the file and update off line? I live in a pretty secluded area of the north georgia mountains and the only internet connection available to me at this time is a 56k modem . sattelite was supposed to be available last fall but nothing yet and the closest cable is miles away. i like gamespy for games, as so far it is faster than zone with lots less lag.

Reply to Rick_Criswell

Well most of our update programs use the internet. You download a small installation file, and when you click "install", the files it installs comes from the internet. There are some versions of upgrades (not sure which ones) that you can download the whole thing and update off-line, although the file you initially download is the same size and would take the same speed as it would to do it the other way.

thanks i finally got it last night, before it would get to 20 to 30% and just kind of stall, i guess your servers were busy with everybody else updating also. so im back on now.I just hate the online updates where you have to stop everything else and wait to tell it ok for the next step to take place.

Normally I would totally agree. We tell everybody we see to buy ASUS. We use mostly ASUS mobos and have very little trouble but ASUS just pissed me off royally.

Our company just recently got a hold of some ASUS mobos with 1.5v only AGP slots. The video cards out customers picked were 3.3v only cards and they do NOT fit. I am pissed at Asus for not suppling a universal AGP slot or warning of a possable compatability problem and I am pissed at all the makers of all video cards because they do not tell you what voltage a given card runs. They all say what x (1x, 2x, 4x) but just try to find out what voltage a card runs at.

I hate Intel for being a bully and bedding rambus.
I hate Rambus for sneeking out the backdoor and patenting jointly worked on standards.
I hate AMD because they lack heat protection.
I hate VIA cause they and Cyrix suck.
I hate ATI because 2 out of 2 video cards needed lots of effort to work correctly.
I hate all the kids in these forums who do nothing but stir up crap and never help people.
I hate ASUS (a little) and all video card makers cause of the AGP slot thing.

Due to a long history of making good stuff ASUS will be forgiven eventually but right now I hate everybody.

Even though you responded to macrovirgo I assume your Re: was aimed at me. In spite of the fact that my wording is not clear what I meant was that I hate people who stir it up and do not help others and that they are kids in spite of actual age. I don't hate young people. Young people are the future.

Also I was on the rag cause we had computers to deliver and couldn't cause of a problem that was impossable to foresee. I still can't believe ASUS would be so irresponsible as to use a semi propritary AGP slot and not warn customers about it.

What is "seening"?

Are all you guys who ssaid you liked ASUS like smoking something?? Please I want to know Are you high?? I got my Asus(Eee PC) i think its like 710 or something I got it fixed 8 times in a 3 month period and each time I would get it back something else would be wrong with it for ex. I SENT IT IN BECAUSE THE CTRL & SHIFT BUTTON WERE SCREWED. I WAITED ABOUT 2 OR 3 WEEKS TO GET IT BACK BUT THIS TIME #1 IT DOESNT DOWNLOAD #2 IT DOESNT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET YOU HAVE TO PLUG IT IN! I THINK THEY'RE SCREWED UP!! + THE SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. 1 TIME I CALLED IN BECAUSE AGAIN THE INTERENET WASNT WORKIG AND BASICALY WHAT THE GUY DID IS HE WAS TELLING WHAT TO DO INTILL I REALISED HE WAS GIVING ME INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO RESTART THE WHOLE COMPUTER!( HE DIDNT TELL ME FOR HE STARTED LEADING ME THROUGH(I COMPLAINED))( AND I LOST I'LL MY SAVED STUFF)

@dina29 This thread is 8 freakin years old! Why resurrect an old thread to say what you have to say about ASUS and in the wrong section to boot! You can get a lemon in any brand product on the planet, your lemon just happens to be ASUS.

Well on the car front I'd have to put the Renault 5, the first true 'Super Mini', as the case for the defence. I used to own a 5 but never the GT Turbo I really wanted. Also how about the classic Citroen stuff?? I mean the DS was so far ahead of its time it's nearly 30 years on that other people are even starting to see just how advanced it was.

As for IT, Ubisoft is probably in your mind but have you considered that it was the French behind much of the EU Anti Trust case? Mandriva doesn't do a bad job on the Linux front.

That's what I forgot - the 'discuss'!

I've never driven the 5, though I have the 9 and the 11, and the newer Scenic. I remain unimpressed with their new stuff, and the 9 I remain convinced was trying to kill me. I guess my driving style just didn't adapt well...
