As it was, I paid nearly $300 USD just for the board, an M2N-SLI Deluxe. I think the board is good, but the bios is a certified problem child. They have a newer, beta rated one on their web site, which fixes a problem in memory allocation that any linux kernel does a 1 times oops on very early in the boot sequence, but I have yet to get a 1 hour uptime out of it. If I use the one that does the oops, uptimes are weeks if I want them. And they aren't fixing it, that beta copy is now almost 3 years old according to its internal dates when unzip'd! Repeated emails, 3 now, to support have never been acknowledged either. After that, nope, not with a 50 foot borrowed pole. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
