My favorite is Aopen, hasn't seen any crappy Aopen MB yet. ASUS and Abit are looking good, too. Worst manufacturer I know is ZIDA...

 

[Muerto]

Asus.

 

[urbantechie]

Intel.

Asus

For stability and tweakage and OC # 2

Only ever owned 2 Abits & 1 Asus board. No probs with either brand, altho Abits don't have best rep for quality. Heard Asus = biggest manufacturer of mobos (in world). Heard great things about MSI, but no pers experience. Heard Tyan made good/best dual-CPU mobos.

<<Heard great things about MSI, but no pers experience>>

Do Anand's experience count? This very forum we're posting on are backed by 4 servers based on the MSI boards. And yes, Asus is #1 in units produced/sold, MSI is #2, thats only because HP is using Asus in their machines. If MSI can just score one OEM deal!!

MSI is definitely the best, i've had 3 MSI -6309 boards, and an MSI k7pro. All of them were rock solid. My experience with ABIT ended in the socket 7 days because well they sucked soooo bad. Asus is good but expensive. FIC i'd say is just cheap average quality, on par with ABIT but stripped down to just what you actually need. Abit's only real advantage was overclocking features, but there are a lot of other companies with that for cheaper now. Right now i have a gigabyte and i'm very happy with it. I probably would have got a MSI again, but their uATX socketA board wasn't out yet, the gigabyte is also top notch. FIC is also a sales leader, because they are used by Compaq, Micron uses TYAN. MSI has a lot of deals with the smaller companies. ASUS is also used exclusively by SONY, which is another reason they lead sales. ASUS is very reliable and cheap too if you are a big company. The k7m was costing $60 a board when we were all still paying $110 for HP.

urbantechie: When you say &quot;customers you never want to see again&quot; (Intel's boards) did you mean &quot;customers you never want to see again for technical support&quot; or never want to see again, even if they were shopping for new boards?

 

[PCAddict]

I'd have a tough time trying to choose between Asus and MSI.

 

[Narse]

ASUS all the way
