[CLUE-Tech] Motherboard Recommendations

[Match Grun]

I have built one computer with had an IWill motherboard. Excellent. I later built three computers with MSI motherboards. One burned out and was replaced with an IWill. The IWill have never given problems. However, the MSI ones have had problems... maybe windoze???

However, of all the motherboards I have used, I would recommend Tyan. In over two years it has never given any problems. This one is rock solid. It is a dual P-III 600 and is used everyday.
