Abit - The affordable
boards that brought overclocking to the masses. Now shipping an
overclockable dual Celeron PPGA motherboard. Pardon me while I wipe
the drool off my chin.
Asus - The big boys in
Taiwan.
Motherboards
on the cheap - Alton,
PC Chips,
whatever you want to call them, their boards have gotten more stable
and offer more features than ever. The performance may not compete
with the likes of Asus, Abit, and Soyo, but you can't beat the price.
