So in fact I think that it's nothing more than correct to point the newcomber to the fact = that in fact PC-Chips is a low end board.. I don't see anything wrong with that one..

...and I couldn't agree more, Hpro. It all depends on the way it done.
I was referring about your first scenario, where someone bashes the newcomers system in a confrontational way, without helping or giving advice.
Anyway, as I've already said, I'm not accusing anyone here of doing that. So stand down everyone.
Please understand, I am not defending PC Chips mobos: I am defending the people who use them (whether through lack of knowledge or ill-informed advice) and then come here looking for help. In most cases, they don't know any better, and it really comes as a shock and a dissapointment to them when they are told they've been sold a low-grade component.
Like I said, no one likes told being told they had bad judgement or they have been taken for a ride.
My view is it doesn't cost anything to be nice to people and use a bit of informative diplomacy. Of course, I understand some people will, for what they think the best of reasons, tell it bluntly "as it is". Unfortunately, we all know how easily the written word can be misinterpreted by someone else and considered an insult.
Regular members get to know each others style of writing and therefore, on the whole, do not take offence at apparent bluntness or a bit of fun-poking. However, new visitors do not have this yardstick and take everything at face value.
Now to answer your question Hpro...could it be...there are too many PC Chips mobos out there?
I was only joking, so don't lynch me.
