It's been quite some time since I've heard them referred to as the "gold standard". Might be time for Jonney Shih to step down. Across their product lines, I've known them for high failure rates for years upon years and no longer recommend them. By contrast, AsRock back during the heyday of Asus was seen as second-rate, but they've been delivering solid reliable products year after year after year. They also make plenty of niche stuff as well that appeals to the prosumer cachet. I tend not to put that much stock in brands and think all of them will release lemons though, but Asus has been producing more crap than most.
