Haven't really heard anything period about those boards. The brands themselves have been pretty positive, Biostar in particular, regarding the stability. ATi's Radeon Xpress chipset isn't a mature product yet, and with the nForce 4 out for so long with so many driver updates behind it, anything less than absolute perfection is going to look bad for ATi. However, some of the USB 2.0 issues are real.
