I have had good luck with the ASUS motherboards, with one 
exception -- running an AMD K6/233. The onboard temperature
circuitry seems to be set up to monitor Intel CPUs; the AMD
K6/233 runs about 10C hotter; much hotter if you don't use
a top-of-the-line cooling fan. :-( Perhaps there's is a way
to alter the setpoint, but I didn't discover it.
