For non-professional use (i.e. home/desktop use) I agree, Intel MB & Chips *just work* - most other MB companies I've seen either play the "see how cheap I can make a MB" game or they are giving the user enough rope to fry their CPU/RAM with overclocking. Intel is really the more conservative, and in some ways, cost-effective solution, many times. If you are looking for performance/price extremes, I wouldn't look at Intel - it's not their strength - IMHO.
