Hi icecoolz, I'm a big fan of Asus too, and there's no denying that they ARE the top motherboard manufacturers, but in this particular case I prefer the Krypton C18G-400 (actually a repackaged Biostar M7NCG-400) because IMO it has better features and is cheaper. I've used dozens of them and it's very stable too.
I posted a comparision of the features in another thread. Here's a summary (this is from memory, correct me if I got something wrong) -
RAM slots : Krypton - 3, Asus - 2
Game port : Krypton - yes, Asus - no
TV-out : Krypton - yes, Asus - no
CNR slot : Krypton - yes, Asus - no (may not be of much use)
Dual-channel RAM w/o gfx card : Krypton - yes, Asus - no
USB ports : Krypton - 2+4, Asus - 4+2
Video RAM : Krypton - 128MB, Asus - not sure ATM, 64MB ??
Price : Krypton - 4k, Asus - 5.4k
The two are very similar in other things.
