Ever since I bought a Pentium Pro-200 from MSI that just REFUSED to die,
no matter how I abused it, I've stuck with MSI. I've never had problems
with MSI motherboards, and I've had bad experiences with other brands,
notably Abit. Gigabyte is a bit too cheap for me to trust it, while Asus
is always too expensive.

Thanks for the tip! I've checked with several shops at Sim Lim (that's a
popular electronics center in Singapore) and they don't seem to stock
Biostar AMD motherboards. Strange, but it could be because the brand is
not in demand.
