SAPPHIRE Motherboards for Socket748

[Werty]

i am planning to get Sapphire motherboards based on Intel 685PE chipset and was wondering if these motherboards are stable enough for a Pentium 4 2.8C/E since they are cheap. was eying for ECS brands but had problems with them before..

has anyone tried using Sapphire Motherboards?

thanks

No. Motherboards are not their specialty. I would go for msi, abit, or albatron. I've returned boards directly to them, and their online rma works well. Albatron had the fastest service. I doubt you could return a board to sapphire.

any more?

I'd stick to Sapphire for video cards only. There are so many better choices out there for a mainboard.

but its the cheapest i found so far for their Intel 865PE based chipset ... about same or lower range than ECS models...

Unless of course, we should find that Sapphire contracts its mainboard production out to ECS, like half the other mainboard companies in the world.
