Motherboard experiance

[Jim Conner]

Well, PCChips and Amptron are very close to the same thing.  I'd avoid both.  
Biostar boards are pretty good.  I don't know about ECS.  Stay away from 
boards with integrated sound, video and ethernet.  They might work, might not 
and disabling onboard components can be a bear.  My next board will either be 
an Abit or an Asus.  I currently run a Tyan S1571(socket 7).  It's a great 
board, but dated.  Don't buy a cheap quality mobo.  Not only does it hurt the 
performance of any component plugged into it, but if it fails isolating the 
problem can be time consuming.
