the deciding factor what is "crappy" often points out the buyers wallet at the 
end because for sure you can't get high tech stuff for a dollar or two
so when you buy a MB for US70 and pay US50/GB you may not get what another one 
gets using a reliable server board with correct ECC/Reg memory, so when you 
buy cheap stuff you can not aspect to get a high reliable system
you can see this already with S939 dualchannel boards which simply crash if 
you do not use real good dualchannel modules
faster the processor is more sensitive the sitem is to all other components 
and for that they put big wheels on the fun cars to smoke more than only 
once ;)
