[kwlug-disc] How to choose a new motherboard

[unsolicited]

Not so - when I was looking, such was pointed out. A result of which I 
[reluctantly] choose my ASRock over the ASUS and Gigabyte. (Not that 
I'll ever trust Gigabyte again - different story.) Nice thing these days 
is if you get a whiff of such, you can go look at the MB manual - before 
buying at least.
