From the boards you have worked with, what do you think is the worst mobo company?
This is just for fun:)

My vote is for FIC!

Easily PC Chips (at least from personaly experience). Thumbs down for zero expandability and zero flexibility.

Don't agree on FIC. Sure they had problems but they fixed 'em. The SD11 at version 1.08 runs both Classics and TBIRDS great.

I`ve never had a really bad motherboard(I stick to the top brands)but have been told by many people including PC engineers that PC chips are the worst.

Dont forget Abit now.... Last time I checked they were 7% higher than the industry for RMA returns.

How about adding Tekram? I bought one of the their boards from a local shop and it was dead when I got it home, they gave me another and I took it home and it was dead as well. Returned to the shop and had them test one before I took it home. The 3rd board was good but come on!!! Also I've worked on 3-4 systems for other people that had Tekram boards in their PC's and they were nothing but trouble!!!

I think MSI makes the world's worst motherboard

I just got a k7t pro2a and it is the biggest piece
of sh*& I've ever used in my life!!

don't wet yerself guys, I'm just kiddin!

My vote would be Shuttle
as well as anything that
goes into a Dell or Gateway box.

I vote for Intel.. P.O.S. scrap boards, nothing but problems and with their own damn CPU's! and yeah I don't really like FIC either.

anyone ever heard of a mobo called Eupa?

Damn, I forgot about that damn VA6 too. It was the most unstable piece of crap I ever had. I actually threw the board away because I didnt have the heart to sell it here.

Come on...Intel motherboards the worst? No way! Maybe they aren't the best for overclocking or have the most features but they are rock soild and high quality.

Of the ones I've owned, a toss-up between Intel (no features, in-built graphics and sound) and Abit (KT7-RAID - neverending problems, crashes, freezes).
