If you're trying to find a good mobo for gaming and you have a nice control on your budget, you should try to go for ASUS, they are known for good performance. Nevertheless, I can tell you that many swear by ASUS motherboards for stability, especially if you're not into overclocking. MSI seems to be another popular one for stability.

Yes, that's true. Asus is better for gaming comps.

What model of Asus would you currently recommend for gaming? I am looking for a pci-express motherboard soon.

Go to Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! and check thier stock. I bet you'll find something in your budget.

I've had many problems with ASUS in the past; a lot of the stuff that I've got from them has either not worked from the start, or broken after a couple of days.

i built my own computer from ground-up! and i have the asus a8n-sli premium motherboard. with all pci express. and i have 2 pci-exp video cards, 550watt power supply, amd athlon 2.6 cpu, fanless chip. man!! this thing i loaded!! and has alot of power!!!!.. all asus,nvidia,and sli !!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a great system. I'm waiting till prices come down a little.

Different strokes for differenty folks.
