Same here.

Edited= Have the bad feeling on the Jetway, so take the Foxconn instead.

I currently have a Foxconn board and it runs very well. I've almost put it on my list of good motherboard manafacuters (so far the only ones are Asrock). But it still needs to last another five months.

I would aviod Biostar, i've had bad luck with them so far. I too would aviod Jetway, they have had some bad reviews, but I never have acutally tried them.

Biostar is quite all right. ASROCK is a very solid board i ever had. Only problem, it is not designed for gamer, only on budget

I based my Biostar experience off of one board that I had that was cheaply made, and the capaciters would scream and the on-board audio was terrible (i know on board sucks, but this was down right torture). But this board was also the cheapest one biostar makes and I got it for free.

I've had my AsRock board know for four years and it keeps going. I've had a powersupply blow once, its been moved around between cases infinite number of times, and even its floopy connecter shorted out and the thing keeps on working. And the thing was in a case for two years where the tempature would get up to 120 degress f for many hours. But each board is different, but yea their cheap and not good for gaming or serious work. Its like a semi-truck compared to a sports car.

I got my 90% of system parts free.

Plus, My brother is using the biostar to run his pentium 4 1.4ghz, he is still using it ever since.

So foxccon or upgrade to AM2 (loyal AMDer) or C2d (I'm a traitor)?

the C2D would be the best and fastest.

More expensive for a bottom line system plus it would make me a traitor

YOUR A AMD FAN BOY??? Thats terrible, return to the light... *pleading*

Anyways, yea C2D is miles ahead.

What do you think of...

The price is ok. Easy to swap out the PentD and whatever else...
