Ahh, excellent, somehow this bookmark disappeared and I couldn't remember the site! Cheers mate, I'm sure Spleenharvester will update the list with anything on there when he's next online.

My vote for the best motherboard maker goes to Asus, the worst to Abit.
Memory goes to Crucial, great memory and good after sales service.
Printer HP.
PSU Seasonic, although they are expensive thay do what they say on the box, worst are Antec, try doing a RMA when they fail.

aBIT?! Wow... I missed this one, what happened?
AOpen is my favorite one. Too bad they sold the company.

Currently having a hate for gigabyte boards - new board won't load the ac97 driver and when you key in AC97 onto the gigabyte site it says it is not found! What sort of rubbish search engine is that, peeps?

What's the general consensus on ECS boards? That's what mine is and I think some of my troubles can be put down to it, and I think they could have laid it out a bit better. I can't get my HDD IDE cable out, because my graphics card blocks it, so that has to come out first, and it's virtually impossible to get to the AGP clip to take the card out in the first place. Quite a pickle it is!

I had my ECS i848P-A v1.0 for my Pentium 4 2.66 before, it ran very decent for 3 years until i traded in for A8N-SLI system.
I still have a trusty old Pentium 2 350mhz and Athlon XP 1600+

I have had a few of these through the workshops and had to replace them all. Not high in my score book, I'm afraid.

Alright, I'm back. I've been very busy.
Albert, I had the same problem before with another board. Can't remember how I fixed it though...
I'll update the list now. Cheers.

I found the driver in the end on another gigabyte board driver CD - different install sequence but it worked second time around after I had gone into safe mode and stripped all the audio drivers out.
Also found why the search engine did not work - AC97 is not the same as AC'97 - I guess I would be the same if engrish was my secon rangwage. Perhaps a snotty email of education would help, but not not as am a bit kernakkered.

I'm positive AC97 belonged to RealTEK AC'97 driver.

Taken from HERE. Quote: |
AC'97 (short for Audio Codec '97) is Intel Corporation's Audio "Codec" standard developed by the Intel Architecture Labs in 1997, and used mainly in motherboards, modems, and sound cards.
| It is used by different chipset makers, such as Realtek/SIS/Cmedia etc.
