Hyper Threaded Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 (edited) ASUS sucks for P4 boards. <_< I know because I have one... they're overpriced paper-weights. Edited June 16, 2004 by Hyper Threaded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 (edited) My blacklist: 1. Abit - Picky BIOS settings and picky on different brands of RAM 2. HSING TECH - Bad build quality and the constant use of SiS chipsets. 3. XFX - Anything from Pine is not worth my money. 4. Soyo - Poor overclockers and too overpriced for what they are worth and what they can do. 5. AsRock: - Still too new to be dealt with. BIOS needs work on some other models. Eg: Refuse to boot from CD. My wishlist: 1. Asus - has been good to me for over 7 years.. not a single board I have owned has had glitches or failures. 2. MSI - Good all round performance and stability 3. Gigabyte - Dual BIOS is handy, the option of both P-ATA RAID and S-ATA RAID is nice on a few of their models. 4. Albatron - A low cost brand with excellent stability. Great for a person that needs a basic well built board and doesn't have much cash.

Dignan Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 This is the mega Uber, only listen to me list.... The Good DFI- great OCers, voltage options enough to kill any chip, RAM, etc... Best AMD XP board maker Asus- Lacks high voltage options but good to me over the years Abit - Consistent board quality, stable, good voltage options.... Best current P4 mobo maker MSI- Good quality for the price. Not to flashy, but not the top of the OCing list. Great stable budget boards The bad PC Chips ECS - Good only if you want to return about 50% of your boards... No OCing, no QC Asrock - They are the neglected step child of Asus, buy an asus instead of this Jetway - Shuttle - only the non-SFF PCs Soyo Syntax Albatron Biostar See I'm right...

Jezza Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 I have had some kind of trouble out of every asus product, that i have bought...not just mobos.....besides the CUSL2-C (kick arse PIII board) That's odd, because I've had nothing but joy with ASUS. I've been using their stuff for about 5 years, and I'm always impressed with it. Always good little overclockers, too. STAY AWAY from Intel mobos, though. I didn't choose this PC, I got it cos I have dyslexia, and although I upgraded the graphics card from a 5200 to a 5600 (which I put in my g.f's PC, I have an ASUS 9600xt in this one) they wouldn't let me pic a non-intel mobo, as they have a contract with intel Well, this mobo is shocking, POST takes forever, there's no OC options, no thermal monitors (which I have had in ALL my ASUS mobos) the PSU molex is in an awquard position... Never again!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newport Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 I just bought me an ASUS P4P800 for my 3.0C and within 3 weeks, my BIOS went bad and i could not POST nor boot windows... I sent it back to Newegg and hopefully i will get a refund so i can use the 119 bucks i spent on it and put it towards a new mobo. I still think ASUS is a good bard but i wouldnt make it your first choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerJaySimpson Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 I've only had 2 mobos, 1 was a generic board that came with my compaq years ago and my current one is an ABIT IC7-G. I've never had any problems with it, and will be buying Abit in the future for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECwakeboarder Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 DONT get a Mach-Speed, mine is ok considering that I only paid $20 for it, but it still wouldn't be worth the $100 retail. I would say to go with a DFI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptikaliLLusion Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Biostar isn't all that bad. They just have the worst overclocking motherboards EVAR! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva_Unit_0 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Now of course we all have differing opinions, but here are my personal choices. If I don't list it, I'm neutral about them...probably meaning I've never used a board by them. I like: Asus MSI Albatron Abit I don't like: ECS and their billion clones Intel FIC Soyo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
