[bob1xxx]

Ok I'm look for a decent cheap replacement mobo for my barton 2500+ and I see on ebay (not that I buy a mobo of ebay looking at prices) and other e retailors I keep running across these mecury mobos, nforce 2 ultra 400's , sis 746 etc... . Are they any good or just another junk chinese mobo maker of so-so quality. Both there nforce 2 and sis 746 are under foriety bucks and would make a good deal .The rig this going into is my back up /lan party/possible media center type rig, so it doesnt need to be supper quick just work well. So has anyone had experance with mercury mobos? Good , bad or indifferent please post thanx Bob S.

The SiS 746 board is actually a PC-Chips M848, pictured is an old revision (v1.2)

It's a solid choice. Basic, no nonsense, no surprises either way. I'd take it. (In fact, I did already, with the later v2.1 that has the SiS 748 northbridge to support FSB400.)
