This is one man's opinion, but I no longer buy PCChips mobos even if they're 
free. To me, the time lost from the uncertainties of installing a PCchips 
mobo is more costly than the money to buy an Asus or Abit. Here at 
Troubleshooters.Com, you can't get fired for buying Asus or Abit.

That being said, many friends whose opinions I respect like PCchips.
