On the contrary. Some devices look different but the internals (= 
working parts) remain the same for years and years. Some devices look 
the same but the working parts (= internals chips etc...) are quite 
different (Belkin NIC for example). For the latter to make 
recommendations is near to a mission impossible. OTOH for the first 
group good recommendations are very useful.

As is always the case with mobo as they last for 3 {at} 6 months at maximum.

My point is:
1. To acquiere used mobo can be very tricky, hence an option reserved to 
the very knowledgeable.
2. In order to sort out whether your new toy is recommandable or not you 
need 3 months or so, otherwise it would be just wild guessing. But by 
that time it's already to late to recommend. Purchased in May an 
excellent brand new Gigabyte mobo, boots from scsi CD just like that 
(you even haven't to go into the bios) and very stable. But it's gone 
already - so you wouldn't be able to do anything with my "recommendation".
