Oh, gotcha. Yeah, it's always been stability first with Asus... although I found with their A8V Deluxe (rev. 2 even) that it was seriously lacking in the stability department. 5 BIOS revisions, 4 final and 1 beta, and not one was stable even at stock speeds.
Given that even a bargain basement ECS motherboard with a SIS chipset (K7S5A rev 5, SiS 735-based) lasted over a year without incident, I'm pretty convinced it was Via either cutting corners or just attempting too much with too little.
