Subject: Re: [H] DFI vs Asus
My vote is for Asus as a brand, than maybe of the other common brands
Disclaimer: at some point 8-10 years ago got burnt using DFI stuff for the OEM where I worked. YMMV & it's your ass.
Mine rides on Asus, also. I stay in lots of controversy with my recommendations etc. but I rely on over 7 years of experience. Instead of saying others are bad, let me just say that Enlight, Asus, Intel, Crucial, ATI, U.S. Robotics, Western Digital and Seagate and Mitsumi have worked very well for me over the years. I do not have the time or money to be messing around with components that require lots of RMA's. My reputation can not tolerate a high out-of-warranty failure rate on the components I sell for new builds and repairs.
Intel marches on with its flawless rate of endurance but I have had to return one stick of Crucial memory in the past 5 years. The less than one Asus per year failure rate (I sell around 60 Asus per year) is caused mostly by the customer's failure to use a UPS. Is that what you Asus fans wanted to hear?
