[Mem]

Mine is MSI at the moment high quality & virtually no problems with Bios ,also rock stable.

 

[jonnyGURU]

MSI and Biostar.

Before I entered the Pentium arena, I think all my 286/386/486 Motherboards (I think there were 4 of them) were all various brands ranging from SuperMicro and other stuff I don't remember.

I've built three Pentium class systems over the past 2 years: the first was a Pentium II/300, the second was a Pentium II/400, and the third is now a Pentium III/733. All three have been on Asus motherboards.

After I bought my first P2B for the PII/300 and installed it without a single problem, fault, or conflict I decided I was more than satisfied with Asus.

My second was my first experiment with PC SCSI. I had been doing Solaris administration for a couple of years on UltraSparcs with SCSI Raids and I decided to see what PC SCSI performance I would get. The second MB was an Asus P2B-S -- expensive as hell =) but worth it for the time that I used it. It's still in another system that I have at home. Never had a problem with that MB either.

My third is now the CUSL2. It's the first Asus that I had to fiddle around with to get working. My first attempt with the board and Hyundai PC133 SDRAM failed miserably, so I had to change to PC133 Micron. I've had this system up and running for two months now.

i've been using abit before but now i've switched completey over to asus i think

the bios still sucks but at least the hardware rules

 

[pdo]

Asus rock.

 

[Strafe]

I have personally never used anything but ASUS, I have built machines for others with ABIT before but now I only recommend ASUS.

 

[altern8]

before joining the OC club, i was using mobos from intel, supermicro, and a couple of other ones cause i didnt know any better ... but my current ASUS CUSL2 kicks butt and taking names ...

 

[ZeroBurn]

i think the cusl2 changed a lot of ppl over from abit to the asus side

 

[han888]

asus here!

 

[Fun Guy]

In order ...

SuperMicro (P5STE - POS)
Abit (BM6, BH6 - good quality MB's)
Tyan (Tigercub - good board)

Trying to get a hold of a CUSL2-M ... like what people have had to say about the CUSL2.

 

[ZeroBurn]

hehe was wondering why asus wasn't on the list until i get to the end =D

Hey. I've really enjoyed the MSI boards that I've had (4 different 6163pro mobos). The Asus boards that I've had were quite good as well--its hard to beat the stability of the good ole P2B, and the P5A that I ran for a while was a gem. I have run some Soyo boards--one 6BB and a couple of 6BA+XX boards. They were all quite solid and great performers, though not quite as tweakable as the MSI boards. Abit boards? My experience has varied tremendously, from great to downright shabby. The one GigaByte board I had goes in the book as the best Socket7 board I ever used. So I guess my feelings (from experience) are:

MSI
Asus - GigaByte - Soyo (tied for second)
Abit

 

[BT7990]

1-Asus
2-Soyo


nevr again-Abit

 

[AMB]

I am going to have to say this


ABIT

 

[Rebels7]

I like Asus and A-Open. I have had Abit boards, and not had to many problems with them, but for stability its Asus and A-open.

 

[slpaulson]

1-asus
2-msi
3-soyo or aopen

 

[ToBeMe]

PCChips!?!?!

 

[urbantechie]

Asus, Intel, MSI and Abit.

 

[Xmech]

I just built an a system using an ASUS P3V4X, it will not run at 4AGP. I did some research in the ASUS forums and found that there blaming the VIA people for this.

Tyan is my new fav.

 

[Blayze]

another vote for Asus

 

[Isaiah]

In one word I would say
Asus

I vote for Soyo, Abit, and Asus. I've owned quite a few Soyo boards and they've all been great, especially the ol' 6BA+. No voltage tweaking but solid as a rock.

 

[Tateman1]

I go with Soyo so far. I got a 6vca, and it is great.

 

[Goi]

Hmmn, well considering the only big names I've used in the past 5 years are Asus and Abit, I'll have to say they are both good to me. Right now I have a BH6, and before than an Asus T2P4.
