Good thing pennies from the last 27 years contain a whopping 0.8% copper.

Asus has been going downhill ever since they strayed from just motherboards... Most manufacturers are hypocrites, so that part doesn't really surprise me anyway.

As true as the title may be, you are taking creative license with it which is a no-no.

Also, to think that ASUS has control over everything that Asrock does when the effectively operate separately, is a bit off. If Asrock decided to put 2 ounces of copper in their boards then I could see a direct line to hypocrisy being drawn.

I'm in the minority that likes MSI. I would rather have an MSI board, but I bought this DFI because it was on sale and in stock. It's still a really great board though. Just because someone has something doesn't mean they can't like something else.

Wait a minute...... Are you telling me that you, as human-being, are going to do something as careless, by taking information from other sources and stil make your own decision???? You're nuts!!! I just do what everybody else does then I never have to take responsabilty!!! Plus I like being a 'drone' and believe everything I hear or read, exspecially if the 'tv' says it.
