Arrow Hmm vote for my new board.

As most of you know my luck has been CRAP lately with motherboard. So far the last 2 have taken a crap on me. So this time I am going with what I know and like the best and that is Asus. They never ONCE let me down. So I need help choosing what board to get.

Its either this.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131392

or this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131363

Its out of those 2. No others.

The Crosshair 3 is way overpriced for what you get IMO.

To me at this point I don't care about the price. I just want a 100% good working board.

Crosshair III is overrated. Too bad there aren't any DFI's on the poll.

I'm not getting DFI. I don't know the bios very well and I don't like what I hear about there customer service. Asus only for me. (Fanboy I guess)

Yeah....I voted the cheaper one simply because it was less of a waste of money.

I guess I'm one of the people that has never had luck with any product with ASUS stamped on it.
