I'm thinking of saying "the hell with it" and taking a bath on my $%#&* motherboard.

To sum up, I have the Soyo Dragon KT333 Platinum board. It looks nice in specifications, but it seems to be cheaply made, the company is terrible, and most importantly, it's been causing me nothing but trouble. Now, if I want to send it back on "Manufacturer's Warranty" it'll cost me as much as $70!! WTF?

So I'm thinking of waiting a bit, then buying another compatible board when the prices are cheaper. What do you folks suggest? Mostly, I'm going for reliability. I don't need the fastest, most high-tech board on the market. I'm also thinking of staying with the tested brands like ASUS.

What do you guys think of this board? It looks nice, and is already $40 cheaper than mine was when I bought it.

Thanks for your help.
