Personally, I've had good success with motherboards from
a company called DFI (back in the 1990's, althought a guy
at the shop (Stone Computer) said they had problems with
them.

My last couple of motherboards have by Gigabyte.
Not a problem with either one.

My HP dv8330us laptop has been more of a pain (primarily
the touchpad spuriously taking input when I'm typing as
a deliberate tap, and moving the typing cursor to wherever
the mouse-cursor is located -- annoyance to no end, as
this usually happens when I'm ... answering e-mail.

In fact, it happened twice while typing this reply.
