my vote goes to asus. that A7V8X-X board i used with Athlon XP 2500+ didn't let me use 2GB ram @400Mhz... Dear Asus says in the guide if I increase memory amount to 2GB the speed will automatically reduced to 333Mhz. thank you asus.

Foxconn shouldn't be on the list either because Foxconn makes most of the manufacturers boards anyways.

I only have experience with gigabyte, but I've never been attracted to the cheaper brands like asrock.

From those options ECS.

I would have to say EVGA is the worst though. With ECS you know you're buying crap, thats why its so cheap. Its much worse spending $200-$300 on a motherboard, having it shipped with bent pins or a broken PCI slot, and then getting screwed out an RMA by lying tech support (as has happened a few times to fellow OCNers)

I do not understand why you would put this up. I mean yea there are cheap manufactures out there, but if you buy the cheapest thing on the market and expect to overclock then you should fill dumb about it.

So, with that said, I will not vote on any of the brands because they all work if you use it right.
