473429 2006-07-30 21:18:00 I think there would be more debate on which motherboard brand is the worst Greven (91)

My thought exactly . . . . I mean . . . . who would even CONSIDER a Ford as being in a list of the top 1,000 or 10,000 cars, right after Lada, Fiat and Hillman . :yuck:

473434 2006-07-31 10:50:00 I would be inclined to say ECS is one of the worst, but one of the guys I work with have an ECS board & he loves it - all the features, low price & hasn't gone belly up on him yet. Greven (91)
473435 2006-07-31 19:29:00 I have had 2 brands of board that I have not been impressed with...one was ecs, that went pop within 2 wks of buying it...never did find out what was wrong with it

...the other was albatron, first time it died it dropped a memory slot so I got it rma'd and it was good for about 6 months, then it died again and this time it had something to do with the power switching circuitry ie I couoldnt switch the f'in thing on at all, so I rma'd it again and got an asus as a replacement :thumbs:

473436 2006-08-01 09:23:00 im updating my computer and i gunna choose between gigabyte m55sli-s4 and asus m2n-e
pros and cons of these
i know the gigabyte is sli which is cool even though i only have one gfx card but being a lil bit cheaper it still worth having sli for the yrs to come??

473437 2006-08-01 11:07:00 it all depends on price .

ECS are good cheap boards (biggest motherboard manafacture last time i checked, even big brands get there budget boards made by them) .

pcchips/jetway . . . . . . . . . ewwwww . tho i think they are now made by ECS .

asus are regualry the fastest boards but not always the most stable .

there is a huge range of middle roads manfactures which can make some exceelent boards and also some dogs .

then finally the no-name or minor manafactures who are often more copiers than manafactures (ie build last years models cheaper) . generally you want to stay away from them, however some of the big name brands have started off being copier manafactures .
