OCW Motherboard Manufacturer Popularity Contest!

[groovetek]

COME ON GUYS!...

I know for a fact that there are more than 4 EPOX users on OCW! hahaha... if this is all the people here, then we really only have 51 people! come on guys, it wont take a second to participate in this! all you need to know is what brand your motherboard is! what about all those MSI 745U enthusiasts! i'm glad to see that the asrock and ecs guys are participating - but come on where are u all?!

bluetooth~ as a simple observation, I feel that results in the poll can aid in determining the activity in the various sectors in manufacturer forums...

ASUS :D

I have an Asus A7V600 in my main machine, and an Epox 8K3A+ in the spare PC. Both are good boards considering my needs.

how is ECS winning, I appreciate lots of people have ECS boards, but don't you regret owning an ECS board? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

AWWWWW RAYVEN MAN!

This is a motherboard popularity contest! Let's not go there! LOL... if u wanna start an all-out debate over what motherboards are good or crap don't do it here!

~on the other hand, this could be good to watch :D !

come on ECS try-hards! prove rayven wrong! give us some feedback on how ur ECS's are still going! Otherwise ECS really are just dodgy boards! hahaha... u can level out at me too if u want... but I have no opinion on ECS products!

Actually, boringishly, I have nothing against ECS... I own an L7VTA, and it was my first decent SocketA Board (there were some "issues" with the Biostar board I had before) umm, and, yeah, while it is boring and non overclocking friendly, it makes a fair random spare PC [img]smile.gif[/img]

Also, a friend has a K7S5A running with the famous TBird 1.4 "computer killer" still going strong and that's abt 3 years old now, I believe?

I just think they need to be made more feature complete, and less "cheap OEM" stuff ^^

It's like say, a Ford Mondeo, reliable, cheap, functional, but boring as hell and everyone has one [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Look at the Photon series

Ok here goes this thing bugs me I have about 7 epox boards that I use all the time. and yes most of them are in running systems.

My main rig is an Epox 8RDA+ version 1.0 , I have slowly but surely upgraded everything connected to it and it has kept up and performed great.
timeline:
cpu-2100+ Pally, 2100+ T-bred,1700+ T-bred,2500+ Barton ( currently 202 X =2424 MHz.)
VGA- GF2 mx200, GF4 mx440, AIW 9000 Pro
Memory-Kingston pc2100, Samsung pc3200, OCZ pc3500 2 x 256MB plus 1 stick KByte 512 MB=1 GB.
psu-no-name 400w, Enlight 420w, Antec True Control 550w
Cpu Cooler- stock, Zalman cp6000, SLK900u
I also have an MSI K7N2G-l, ECS K7S5A-Pro v5, Chaintech 7NIL1 ( wifes pc, I'm surprised how stable it is, but then again she doesn't stress it).
Motherboards I were not happy with:
Biostar M7VIG Pro- burnt out after 2 weeks- RMA policy stinks, $30.00 just to look at it and pay shipping- It sits in a box waiting to be tossed.
Pcchips M810lmr's- Folding killed 1, heat another, not enough options to tweak. But then again this is the board that got me started into trying to boost performance ( can you say overclock).
