http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=3681Take a guess at how many motherboards ECS manufactures a month. If you thought it was, say, 200,000 you'd be out by a factor of least 10. That's right; ECS manufactures around 2,200,000 (2.2 million) motherboards a month, which take the form of ECS-branded (ECS, PCCHIPS) and OEM-designed boards for some high-profile names.

But do they still stink?
A couple of years back I had 3 ECS motherboards all of them for the Athlon XP. The all died nasty horrible deaths. The sound went on one, the something else went on the other and then they died completely. I swore I would never by another ECS board again. So, unless you have a note signed by Jesus and cosigned by his parent....
Check out some of the HEXUS.reviews... we have been impressed
I don't think reviews really matter for this kind of stuff. What's needed is user polls that ask specific questions corresponding to the manufacturer of all the mobos they have had, problems, how long they lasted, and if they were replaced because of premature death or just obsolescence. I guess this could be segmented or weighted by age of the mobo.
From my own view I've had some serious issues ECS, Soyo, Gigabyte, FIC, and MSI but really good experiences with Asus, Shuttle, and Epox (though the latter ended up dying after a couple of years becasue they fell prey to that well publicized batch of fault capacitors).
Still, 3 dead ECS boards out of 3 was beyond the the pale but then this is just an anecdote and I'd like to see a large scale poll to get the real story.
