I've given up on ASUS

Sure, I want an EEE 900 as much as the next guy, but as far as motherboards, I'm done. Why? Because a key part is missing....WEBSITE SUPPORT. Have had an ASUS P5B deluxe for about a year and a half now, and any time i need to get drivers for something, their site is a] slow as all getout and b] now seems to be hostng a bunch of corrupted zip archives that are missing important installation files!

Has anyone else had a better experience with their support/download site?

My next one is probably gonna be a Gigabyte board.

I think I've settled on Abit as my mobo provider for now. I've seemed to have the least amount of trouble with them.

On the rare occasions I venture out to them I haven't had any problems, although the tubes - or is it a series of dump trucks - to Taiwan isn't hugely rapid at the best of times.

I looked at Abit boards, but they were missing features I wanted [I'm kinda picky about what ports and how many]. The most recent X38/48 Gigabyte boards got me intrigued though.

i too have had trouble with asus. the motherboards are top of the line,but they're driver/bios downloads are crap.I've always had to order them on cd.

Is he using the real asus site?

Funny, while its been kinda slow for me, I haven't had issues with corrupted downloads. That being said, their support has been rather lacking for a number of years now. With the exception of bios support, you're just better off getting drivers straight from the chipset manufacturer.
