Hey C,
I don't buy mobo's based on the name of the mobo. So I really don't understand your question. I would buy a good mobo named "Atomic Bomb" or Photon Torpedo"..........so what is a 1950's Military Rifle compared to either of those names? I buy Shuttle mobo's because, they are the best value for my dollar. I have not had a bad mobo yet(I did get one with a older version bios chip, than advertised), from Shuttle, and I have built over a dozen systems with various Shutttle mobo's. I have only built 2 systems with ECS mobo's(another budget brand), & one mobo was DOA.
As far as would I buy a "AK47".........I don't know, I don't even know what the spec's are of this mobo? What chipset does it use? Again, I don't understand the nature of your question. If they named it: "Mass Murdering Kiddie Porn Terrorist"..........that would be to much, & I would hold off until they changed the name to "MMKPT version 2.0".
I don't work for Shuttle or any other Computer company. Do You?
Peace Out................tile
It would be nice if everyone gave too much information about their system & problems.
