Has MSI gone to crap?

Got burned with 2 recent MSI motherboard purchases. Unfortunate
because that was my "go to" brand for non-AMD systems. Anyone else see
their quality go to ****? I noticed that they are now made in China
instead of Tawain.

.... I think they are inexpensive
.... I can't imagine why their new Platinum AMD mainboard is black
.... I haven't had a problem them, including my recently purchased
modern MSI mainboard
.... the so-called round IDE cable is silly in my opinion, it is a
bunched up parallel cable
.... seems they include a lot of accessories
.... their buzzwords can't be beat [playing]

I am really interested in the responses on this subject. I am
currently waiting for the new NForce4 Ultra boards to come out by MSI.
Right now it is the only company with the Ultra version to be coming
out ( I am not really interested in SLI properties as I am an ATI
man).

My only MSI boards were slot A I bought three and two gave me problems.
Since I have been an Abit user for many years. But recently I have made the
switch to DFI. Motherboards are all they do. If you care about where stuff
comes from, DFI uses Japanese capacitors. Give them a look.

Never had any problems with MSI boards using AMD Athlon & Sempron CPU's,
don't know about their Intel boards.

Had one problem with one board. It was an Intel 925X based board. XP kept
losing the USB. I've read another post where someone had the very same
problem, and it was an MSI board as well.
