Pre Owned Made for Name Brands Mobos

[Onemoretime]

Hello. Has anyone had either positive or negative experience
with boards taken out of HP, Gateway, Etc machines and used
on noname systems? Ebay is replete with these boards.
But have the bios on all/most been tweaked to name brand??

To buy or not to buy.........

Good boards are cheap enough now anyways.

The most you can ever really do with an OEM board is change the boot order
