... yep. opinions on MOBOs have to be put into some sort of context, in order to qualify the opinion (not aimed at you). to simply say "i think they suck" doesnt really say much. much better to say "i think they suck because i could never get the onboard video to work or my system always locked up with that". in many instances, it could be something as simple as a bad RAM chip, a memcheck test would reveal :) . -- /// Michael J.

Mike, That's fine, if you are unable to get your point across in a few words. Some people are unable to make a point briefly. We'll guess you are one of those people. A definitive response, such as, "they suck" usually will suffice for most people here and if not, they will ask why. An elongated answer would then be in order, as you point out. I think if you take a poll here, most will have an understanding of "they suck" and accept it as a complete answer. If any further explanation is needed, by all means ask, but since this mail is already longer than it should be and should have really been unnecessary to explain to you why a simple explanation is satisfactory, rather than a full page, detailed, rambling description of a motherboard's advantages and disadvantages would be, I will end it here! How's that for a run on sentence? Please feel free to punctuate as necessary! ;o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.5.4 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
