Personally I dont know about now, but I know that when Asus moved away from Japan and started having all their boards made in Korea they went from #1 to being good as in name only. I went straight from a 486 to a pentium II mobo it was a Asus P2L97 it was an awsome board, I only got rid of it about 4 years ago when it finally went to FUBAR heaven.
But honestly if you want reliabliity go with AMD, hell the extra cash your gonna save pump it into a dvd-rw.
But that is my personal opinion :)

speed is no longer the major factor its IPC (Instructions per Clockcycle) that determins how well it handles processes.
