Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Which motherboard manufacturer provides the best support? 2

Since the discovery of the Spectre and Meltdown CPU flaws, I was hoping for a BIOS update to address them. However, it seems that there will be no BIOS update forthcoming for this 5 year old motherboard. I would prefer not to repeat my mistake with future builds. Can you recommend another manufacturer that is doing better?

  • A BIOS update isn't needed. The OS can issue a microcode update that will patch this out for you, and almost every OS does this for you.

  • Intel isn't bothered about supporting hardware that old. Your best bet is probably to switch to AMD as they do seem to provide support for older parts.

    I was in the same boat, had to take Intel to Small Claims Court to recover some cash to buy an AMD system.
