Motherboard companies - which has best customer support??

[Greenwald]

How would you rank motherboard mfgrs in terms of support?

I don't have that much experience with motherboard companies. Which companies consistantly rise above the fray for having good documentation and customer support? I want to buy a motherboard that will give me years of good service so I need regular bios updates and web info to help tweak or troubleshoot problems if/when they arise. Want to buy from a good manufacturer.

I understand Asus is good, who else?? Which are the worst?? How do you rank them.

Thanks,

M Greenwald

Best: Intel, but you'll never need to call 'em because their boards don't break. They also don't overclock, if that matters to you.

Fair to middling: Asus

Pretty Bad: EPoX.

Sucks Ass: Gigabyte.

My 2 cents, YMMV.

Gigabyte is bad, ended up sending mine back to newegg for the RMA (not that that was a bad thing , I ended up with the newest revision of the board (7VRXP 2.0) )

everytime ive emailed epox with a question they always got back with me in less then a day (usually within the hr)

and of all the epox boards ive used (been over 50 of them) ive never had a bad one
the emails ive sent to tech support were stuff like asking if a bios update would be coming out to give ____ support, etc.
