I've never had any bad experiene with Asus nor ECS

With my Gigabyte board, the memory won't run in dual channel.
However, I cannot base my opinion of a company off just one experience.

Really, I'm not sure. PCChips should be on the poll.

If you by chance have 4 modules of RAM, most MBs of that era defaulted to DDR333 automatically!

So, actually it's not likely the MBs fault, but the memory controllers inability to cope with 4 modules.

DFI needs added to the list just based on their terrible customer service.

I've had no problems with Asus or Gigabyte at all. my vote goes for ECS since my friends mobo died in half a year and they wouldn't cover it.

Imo, the best boards Ive used we're Asus. Ive ran 2 Computers with Asus boards on 24/7-365 days for the last 4-5 years, not one problem yet! Yes I understand their Tech support is crappy and have RMAs to deal with, but that's any mobo manufacturer honestly.
