Wouldn't the flip side be worth something..... I (and others by the looks of the numerous requests for help on here) am looking at replacing a Motherboard or getting a new one AND there doesn't appear to be a comprehensive list of common known issues for some of these (at times highly recommended) boards.

For ex., For the recommended Asus P5B-Dlx-- The JMicron IDE driver issue, or the JEDEC Memory voltage issue. Granted there's a fix for the drivers (and maybe the fixes could be a part of it) but it would be nice as a NOOB to get a feel for what is possibly staring ya in the face (like the Gigabyte P965 DS3 reboot issues) and have more of a summary without having to read 70+ or more pages of posts in multiple threads.

I'm not just talking one time user errors but things that keep cropping up (like a rash of MSI P6N's with boot issues).

Just a thought.
