"...they've always been reliable." - with the right chipset...

I've got a Via chipset based motherboard, and frankly installing the OS & drivers for it was a nightmare (Asus TUV4X). Again, not a scientific sampling in the least, but that was the last time I buy a non-Intel chipset mobo.

I think meatballman was talking about Intel in his "they've always been reliable" comment. re-read his post and the one he's replying to.
