Asus makes solid products. But what they charge has gone thru the roof. It used to be that the top motherboard cost $200 now you have to pay $449.99, it has more than doubled in under 6 years. They don’t even add any useful features anymore. And they have completely abandoned making oem notebooks. And it would be nice if there update program actually worked, and if they updated there website with a way to detect motherboard model in vista. 

I'd like to see them include some of the newer features that Phoenix makes, like Phoenix Recover 7. Or maybe a recovery program that runs from the flash memory on the board, maybe some simple hardware diagnostics.
