The only motherboard that has died on a system that I've personally 
owned is an expensive dual CPU Tyan motherboard but that was ages ago. 
The flip side of that is that I have a system with a cheap ECS 
motherboard that has been powered by a cheap, no-name power supply since 
2001. ECS isn't supposed to be a good brand so what this demonstrates to 
me is that unless you have a statistically significant sample, one can't 
draw any conclusions from anecdotes.
