You know as much about computers as you do BA or hamradio. My HP, the
one I am typing on right now has an off the shelf non- prop Asus
motherboard. A ATI Radeon graphic card etc.Built by HP and bought at
Best Buy.

Since I maintained computers for a living for over 30 years, I suspect I
know more than the average person about them and since you are stupider
than average I know a WHOLE lot more than you when it comes to computers.

Anyway there isnt anything wrong with propreitary motherboards.
Laptops are outselling desktops right now and they are all properietary
and they work just fine.

And, you're full of crap, too! Lazy, and full of crap.. A terrible way to
go through life! Where did I say they "didn't work"? Learn how
to read. You have no clue go play with your $389 wonder.

"Non- prop"? I guess that you can't see the big HP image that
flashes on the screen from the "Prop" HP BIOS when you turn the computer
on. I have a HP LX876 server with an ASUS motherboard. NONE of the
drivers are available and the hard drive is missing so that ASUS
motherboard will probably end up in the trash. Drivers for others in
that ASUS family don't work which is too bad because I really need a
working server for a local Veteran's information website project.

I still repair a lot of computers, and some down to the chip level.
I replace defective caps on motherboards and clean up bad solder work on
some cards as well. I've been at it for 23 years and it has ranged from
mini-computers to embedded systems, and everything in between. The last
job I had before I was declared disabled was on telemetry equipment, and
some of those systems are in orbit.

Laptops are in a separate class altogether, although you already know
that.
