Boards I now avoid as a result of bad experiences: - MSI (raid chipset failure, poorly implemented SATA/PATA support) - Abit (seem to release buggy boards that aren't always taken care of through BIOS updates) - Intel (D975XBX is the worst board I've ever owned, terrible PCI-e support and the BIOS is bug ridden to this day)
My D975XBX has been relegated to a PVR. I generally select ASUS workstation boards these days. My current board is a P5WDG2 WS Professional http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=248&l4=0&model=1289&modelmenu=1 and my next is going to be a P5E3 WS Professional http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=572&l4=0&model=1900&modelmenu=1 The P5WDG2WSPro is the most reliable board I've ever owned. The only other board I've used that was possibly equally reliable was an Intel P2-350 board I purchased about 10 years back - a friend of mine still uses it to this day. -- egd Thecus N5200PRO >> Transporter >> ATC SCA2 >> ATC SCM100SLAT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41179 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
