Brand Loyalty Through Repetition

Great blog, and should be considered a 'must-read' for anyone wishing to give buying advice:

The legitimacy of these suggestions seldom come into debate, as it's far too often a knee jerk reaction to just get the info out there. This flag planting with low retort numbers can leave the Original Poster with such a long list of random suggestions that they may be even more confused. The common result is that the reply that sold it best on the first try "wins".

Great blog, makes me think twice about my DFI/Blood Iron obsession...

Yeah i definitely noticed the blood iron obsession with a few of the guys around here

Of course i'd be a hypocrite if i didn't mention i usually use power search on newegg and click "gigabyte" first....

I had good luck with Asus during the P3/AthlonXP days... then I got my first Gigabyte and was not really impressed with the GA-P965-DS3 board but now with this GA-EP35-DS3P board I am blown away... my Asus and Biostar boards are plugging away well into their 5th year of life and the Gigabyte board went back for RMA within the first few months of its life plus I have noticed some other Gigabyte P35s that also went back for RMA.. the board is great but I wonder about the overall quality...
I tend to look at what works best rather than what brand worked well for me a few years ago.
