Can't beat genuine Intel motherboards. Intel will be releasing BIOS updates for this board for years to come. With other manufacturers, you never know when they will just up and drop active support.

Intel is also good for periodically updating drivers for third-party chips on their motherboards, such as audio codecs. ASUS has audio drivers for some boards that haven't been updated since 2003 (e.g. ADI).

However, DP965LT doesn't support RAID, if it is among your desired features...
