[SATLUG] Core 2 Quad for how much?!

[Jonathan Hull]

I agree the motherboard is important. I've had more than a couple
motherboards with flaky chipsets and/or drive controllers. And I can't
tell you how many times a problem with a motherboard has cropped up
but has appeared to be a problem with a drive or another card. It's
sometimes just not worth the hassle to get a cheapo motherboard. I
don't mean go overboard, but get a brand that can be trusted.

Doesn't mean I haven't had good experience with a cheapo motherboard,
so if you can find a good one, go for it, but don't pick the board
exclusively on price.
