Yeah those are good, ECS is NOT crappy, for "general stable use" thats what they are made for. Whats your buget? For what your doing Chaintec and Foxconn are good, MSI ASUS and Gigabyte only excell when tweaking and other stuff. So yeah give us a buget and we can recomend something.opera936 said:i wanna get a good 775 mobo with 4 ddr/ddr2 slot n a pcix16 slot for general stable use. so far i'm considering foxconn and chaintech( because of good price)no ecs since i heard they are crappy. is foxconn and chaintech good enough comparing to msi, asus and gigabyte?
Hmmm the best in my books is prolly ASUS very closely followed by Abit although yes they do tend to be on the pricier side (although if you look hard enough some of the boards might surprise you). Gigabyte and MSI products tend to be a bit over the middle of the road with their prices hovering around the middle range while Chaintech and Foxconn are in the lower price bracket but still have competent products.
Hmmm sort of. Even discounting features and performance (because thats not what the boards are made for), ECS/Asrock/etc boards, while they work, are quite stable but they will die on you (hehe at home we have like 7 ECS machiens which lasted 4-5 years and now they all starting to fall apart in rapid succession)
Thats plenty money for a motherboard. You can damn near get any board u want
Thats more expected for a budget config
And that's supposed to fit into a $250 budget? Nice try but it not gonna happen
That can lead to some awkward/pointed questions ... like
Good question.
