Their boards couldn't carry Asus' lunch, and that's if they didn't fail in the first half year of use.  I've got about 6 Asus boards, and they're pretty good.  However, at this point, I'm putting all my board money into Gigabyte mobos.  So far, I've built over 250 machines with the Gigabytes, without a single failure or configuration issue.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fyrewerx]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 14th 2009 8:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/asustek-to-spin-off-motherboard-and-gpu-business-under-pegatron/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/asustek-to-spin-off-motherboard-and-gpu-business-under-pegatron/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have fond memories of building many a machine with ASUS boards. . . the name "Pegatron" sounds like cheap junk.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rocky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 14th 2009 9:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/asustek-to-spin-off-motherboard-and-gpu-business-under-pegatron/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/asustek-to-spin-off-motherboard-and-gpu-business-under-pegatron/</guid><description><![CDATA[Where did Unihan go?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JohnTitor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 14th 2009 11:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/asustek-to-spin-off-motherboard-and-gpu-business-under-pegatron/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/asustek-to-spin-off-motherboard-and-gpu-business-under-pegatron/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's just a name change.
