Really the asus was DOA???!!! LOL thats insaine. I hear something different from everyone I talk to. I've heard tons good about the asus and soyo and I'm hearing bad about both. The soyo was doa, so I'll try the asus now LOL.
But I'm getting really confusied about the sound on the asus board. It says its 6-channel surround sound. But I don't see how. does it come with the extra card like the soyo does?
Sucks that the smart card reader doesn't work eather

the soyo seems like a really good board. but the tech guy said he was getting problems with it all the time and wouldn't recomend getting it again. he said he could almost garenntie that I would have problems with it again. LOL
oh well....I guess I'll find out how the asus is
