I've been pricing motherboards lately and AMI is the most expensive by
far.  Are their boards really that much faster/more reliable/prettier
than all the others or is AMI just money-grubbing scum?

How much does the motherboard affect the speed of the computer?  If I
had a Micronics board with the AMI BIOS, would I have just as fast a
computer?  (I'd imagine the motherboard is second only to clock speed
in determining computer performance, but I'm just a software dweeb.)

What kinds of motherboards are people using and how do they like 'em?
If I get many E-mail responses, I'll post a summary.
