I can plug my PC in right now over LAN but it's a rather rare and temporary set up, kind of like sitting with the door open and my PC this way. I can look outside see the lake and the birds and snakes and alligators....
@Psionic Roshambo, You don't like Gigabyte? I like them. I've bought ASUS board n dead on arrival and had MSI board die on me after few months, but never had any issues with Gigabyte MB.
Gigabyte I have had one failure, but it was on the super low end and it was an old system to lots of heavy use on a mobo that was probably taxed to it's limits.
I guess some of me not liking them is based on when I worked at Dell... They did a lot of the boards for Dell at the time and some of them where just ass.... Like 20% failure rate on some of them in 2 years. I suspect a lot of it was when all those bad caps got into the supply chain.
At the time Dell was the number one PC seller and popular plus cheap mobo plus bad caps plus going from XP to Vista.... it was just a bad time for the entire PC industry lol
