well, i am a reseller for BioStar, Asus, Gigabyte, Chaintech, Foxconn, MSI, etc etc..
and i have had NO call backs on any of my products..
in fact, the "cheaper" ie BioStar boards actually suit there purose better than MAJOR brands..
think about it this way, the top end boards, ASUS, Gigabyte, are always being critised. they are excellent boards, but someone will always find something wrong with them and nitpick..
the people that are on the type of budget that go the biostar route, really dont give a damn, their pc must just work..
and they do that well, it doesnt need to be fancy for them..
so here's the verdict:
BioStar - excellent value for money, entry level MB..
Asus, Gigabyte, etc = Excellet quality boards, for those on a higher budget, that want everything to be better than perfect, and if its not, they complain.
if you fall into the later cataogry, then dont buy a biostar board.
simple..
a porsche may be a vw but @the end of the day, but dont expect the vw to perform like a porsche..
hopefully you understand what i mean by that.
