I am not being misleading
Bull.
"Samsung HDD's are THE WORST!" - Is a false, blanket generalization. The Samsung F1 1TB and other spinpoint models are very good. Reliable, quiet, fast. The 1TB is as fast as a WD black. Just because the specific HD listed above was a poor choice does -not- mean all Samsungs are bad or slow. I am not a fanboy, you DO have a grudge
"MB and HDD are trash." HD bit was talked about above so I'll talk about the MB part. You let your past bad experience with a biostar board lead you to generalize to the OP that all biostars are crap, which IS misleading and false. That MB is quite a good budget board, and often used and recommended here. Adding your input on experiences you've had with specific brands is fine, but letting a bad experience lead you to tell others that an entire brand is crap is not. For example, someone built a PC on AT recently with an Antec earthwatts PSU, which is a respected and lauded line. However, the OP was unlucky and it burned out. This does not make all Antec PSU's crap. Do you get that logic?
So, Samsung and Biostar are the best, you are saying?
No, he didn't say that. You are putting words in his mouth. What he said, was Samsung HDs are as reliable as anyone elses (true) and That that biostar was a decent budget MB (also true)
My experience with Samsung is that they are trash, and they do not have a reputation that says "SUPERIOR"
In just about every market Samsung is in (monitors, cell phones, TVs, etc) they are considered above average and/or higher quality than their cheaper competitors. "Usually people trying to save money want them" is not true. People usually buy samsung when they have a little more to spend than bottom line
And there is definitely a difference between *me* not factoring in rebates when *I* buy items, and *you* giving bad advice to someone *else* buying something because of *your* experience with that company. If I had noticed the rebate on the RAM I wouldn't have called it overpriced.
It's funny how people have a problem with my points based on research and they fail to ever provide even one simple fact that counters what I say.
You haven't given a single shred to back up your claims about Samsung drives. Do you have a link to a review or something?
I don't have a big ego, I'm just crude. It's not like everyone else on here is 100% right 365 days a year.
No, but most of us are less confrontational and agressive when our advice is disputed, or when we disagree with the advice of others
Actually, you said that it was "pretty much the opposite" of trash, so that would be somewhere near "hailing" it.
No, the opposite of "XXXX is trash", is "XXXX is not trash"
When someone poses the question "which motherboard should I get if I want the best?" this month, does anyone say Biostar?
No, but that is not the question posed in this thread. The OP seems to be looking for a good budget AMD motherboard with decent onboard IGP. The biostar is that.
I have every right to say anything "decent" is a piece of trash.
You have the right to say whatever the hell you want. That doesn't mean that it's right, or not stupid however.
My first job was building products at a company who most pro _________'s use and I've worked in QC = I just pay attention to details.
There goes that ego again
Where?
you are providing blanket statements
Excuse me? We are commenting on a couple specific models, you are trashing an entire brand because of a couple bad experiences? YOU are the one with the blanket generalizations
Hitachi was the first company to have a 1TB HDD and have technology that has been around for longer than Samsung
Which was hot and slow and not that reliable, and didn't beat competitors to the punch by much. If anything that drive should be a black mark on their record. Seagate had the first 1.5tb drive. See how well that's worked for them?
