Yes, they're right, but there are other good brands too. MSI, Gigabyte, Intel, DFI, Sapphire & Aopen come to mind.
As in most things low-end price=low-end quality/performance.

Just letting you know that the way of your posting is annoying.
Needs more "," and ".", you can learn that at school aswell.

A motherboard is just a collection of features such as a processor socket, various upgrade slots, and a RAM type. Get one that has the features you need and that are the current industry standard and it won't be out of date. At least not for a while. Take a look at what the current top-of-the-line computer hardware is using, and use that as a guide.

Knightwalker, that third like you have is a very nice board. Wink... Wink... ASUS is my favorite too! I mainly like their hardware monitoring and management software. They are easy to overclock, too. As Quaker said earlier, there are some other alternatives out there, too. ASUS has long been a fan of mine, though.
