Particularly I am interested in this one, but I have heard that you get what
you pay for:

BIOSTAR TForce6100-939 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

But I am also wondering about the value of the company itself and the
products it puts out. And how reliable have their mobo's been in the past.

Never mind. Somebody just sent me this one:

I trust Asus.

Middle-shelf, above ECS/PC Chips, below

I realize you said "Never mind", but thought I put a word in about my
experience with Biostar. I'm running 3 of their boards- two with Sempron
processors and one with an Athlon XP. All have been infallible in the hands
of a 7 yr old, a 13 yr old and my wife. The one drawback to them is
documentation- very weak. Two of the boards starting out using the IGP and
then upgraded to AGP cards with no problems. Using the onboard sound on all
three. They have been a pleasant surprise in price vs. quality and I
wouldn't hesitate to build a basic system with one again.
