Asus Vs. Intel mobo
I am building a new PC. Will be using the 875 chipset motherboard. Question
is, go with Intel or Asus. My previous experiences with ASUS (particularly on the AMD, VIA chipset) were not that great. So, is there a compelling reason to go with ASUS if I do not plan on overclocking? Thanks! Dan |

I'd say Asus is still a very good make, even if you don't plan on overclocking. If it were me, I'd plump for the Intel board (875PBZ). It's rock solid stable. I can't recall an Intel board I've ever had that wasn't stable. And, I judge Intel's support to be better than Asus's. @drian. |

"In general", high-end Intel boards are slightly higher quality than Asus, but have lessert support (despite the generic Intel support that doesn't help as much as privide a "canned" response). Overall, considering that you don't want to overclock, I'd buy based on the features of the particular boards in question. Dave |

It was the via part of that marriage that was the problem. Intel couldn't make a good board with a via chipset! That said intel board are stable and work well. If you're not going to oclock at all, then might be the better choice. -- Stacey |
