Thanks for the replies, guys. In checking other reviews, seems to be a somewhat mixed response. Some folks really like them, others seem to have a lot of problems with them. Most say the cust. service is good though.
I am really not happy with this Asus. Funny, I have heard all kinds of kudos about Asus,but from my experience, way way too much trouble. This is my third Asus board of the same type. I have had the tech. support person tell me he doesn't even use their software cause it's too buggy.
