Overall, I've been satisfied with ASUS. I have 4 of the A7N8X or A7N8X-E systems running 
without issue. This P4P800 is the first ASUS board I've had difficulty with.

The thing is, most manufacturers nowadays make decent boards overall, but every 
manufacturer makes a board once in a while that is just a dog. I'm wondering if the P5P800 
is ASUS's current dog...
