Any one know anything about axper mobos ? anyone tried one ? New company from Taiwan wonder if they have a relationship similar to asrock /asus with some other company. Anyway seriously cheap boards, even cheaper than asrock.	the highlander (245)

And a google for Axper parent company bought up the info instantly.	metla (154)
274785	2004-09-23 03:27:00	Why dont you just use Gigabyte boards, they're relatively cheap and have heaps of features for the price. Soltek are pretty cheap aswell, some of their boards have an awsome reputations, and some have a really bad repuation. Then theres always great boards like PCChips and ECS ;\	Pete O'Neil (250)
274786	2004-09-23 03:37:00	I would put an ECS Nforce2 board up against any other brand of Nforce2 any day of the week. The ECS KM400-M2 is also a fast stable fully featured micro board,that spanks the daylights out of Simerley priced ASrock boards. Can't say i would use an ECS board on a P4 but the above boards are good stock. And its always a good idea to keep an idea of what models are up there with the other brands and which are under-performers. ECS have in the past had some very sub-standerd boards on the market,but also some top performers at an excellent price.	metla (154)

Perhaps you could do what you did with the desk and offer a small child a IDE cable if they'll do you paperwork for you? Might have to up the incentive a lil bit though, perhaps a rounded IDE cable.

274788	2004-09-23 04:00:00	Why dont you just use Gigabyte boards ? Well I do but they aren't always available at the price that asrocks areplus the earlier asrocks didn't require P4 power supply for pentium mobos. But then come to think of it i haven't bought an asrock for about two months. Last couple have been asus and gigabyte and I wasn't that fussed about the gigabyte fxm board which had the mobo temp reading higher than the cpu.	the highlander (245)

274790	2004-09-23 04:06:00	"I would put an ECS Nforce2 board up against any other brand of Nforce2 any day of the week." What are you measuring - price, features or performance? I would guess that very few people knowingly buy an ECS MB, they get one when they buy a cheap computer.	PaulD (232)
