Biostar NF4UL-A9 Motherboard - any good?

[MadCat2099]

Greetings again!

I'm tyring to build a PC with my bro but we seem to be stuck deciding between an Asus, Gigabyte and this <A HREF="http://www.biostar.com.tw/products/mainboard/board.php?name=NF4UL-A9#" target="_new">Biostar NF4UL-A9</A> motherboard. We know that Asus and Gigabyte are good boards, but this Biostar board gives us everything we want at a competetive price. We just don't know if Biostar is a good manufacturer or not as there are no reviews for this product anywhere. Does anyone know if Biostar mainboards are any good?

I haven't used biostar in a long time. Their boards are not supported as well by bios updates and warranty, so the price is lower. They charge about a $30 handling fee to send a board to them for warranty. I would like to check out the manual for this board, but they haven't posted it on their website yet.

I have to go with o1die - you'd be getting what you paid for here. In the long run, it's better to pay a little more for the better mfr - it saves time, money and heartache in the end. JMHO.

Which models are the ASUS and Gigabyte mobos?
Which features are you really going to use?
