Haven't had anything but trouble out of Asus, So I don't use them at all. It's fact of them releasing so many boards that it appears they take no time to improve on the current ones with bios code.

really because the board i have has had regular updates granted not every week but it added some cool or minor changes now and again

plus its the highest quality mobo ive owned

granted MSI when i had one it was a good board

Proably a lowend 5000 series IGP, in the 890GX

Really? 5000 series? Thats' pretty fast, I thought I read somewhere (can't remember, think it was an AMD press slideshow) that they weren't going to have DX11 IGPs until 2011 so I assumed it must be an RV710 or something in there.

I don't think it could handle most DX11 games as its an IGP so DX11 support would just be for show anyway. :(
