The Computer Hardware Question Thread

Now, you ARE a freak for keeping that horrendously cheap motherboard on your main PC. :P Next time, sink the extra $10 or $20 into a good Asus, ABIT, MSI, or Gigabyte, and I promise you you'll be much happier not only with the quality, but also with the support. :P

I didn't have much of a choice when I bought it. I got a pre-built package from a local mom and pop store, and although I did have a few choices as to processor type, RAM type, harddrive etc., the motherboard was the one thing that had to be.

I keep hearing about how awful ECS motherboards are, but I've never had a lick of trouble with mine in the 3 years I've owned it (other than the really bad onboard SiS video, ugh). I don't have any reason to swap it out.
