Dude, where have you been? With Core 2 and AM2 coming out, some of the best motherboards for those lines is from ASUS.

The time of A8N is over, baby.

This merger should increase the game for the whole motherboard industry, as two of the largest manufacturers are banding together. It's like the Seagate and Maxtor merger.
