Motherboard Brands

Computer motherboards come in all different shapes, styles, and speeds. Usually for most people the only distinguishing factor when it comes to two similar motherboards is price. Making a decision based on price can sometimes lead to you getting an outdated, crappy computer motherboard. This article will deal with why if given two similar computer motherboards, you should take the ASUS over the MSI and so on.
[Covered in this article: ASUS, Gigabyte, Abit, MSI]

Asus Motherboards
ASUS motherboards are generally considered to be the best supported and most dependable computer motherboards available. Although, one major downfall of ASUS's motherboards are that they are usually a lot more expensive than other computer motherboards in their class. Overall, if your looking for the best you should definitely take a serious look at ASUS's line of motherboards.
[For those that must excellent quality, or just must have the best.]

Gigabyte Motherboards
Gigabyte motherboards are a good mix between reliability and competitive pricing. While Gigabyte's computer motherboards don't have the same amount of quality put into them as it's ASUS counterparts, they still make great boards.
[For those who want a good motherboard that won't cost an arm and a leg.]

Abit Motherboards
Abit Motherboards are another middle-of-the-road brand. They are based on my experience usually a little more reliable than Gigabyte motherboards and a little more expensive as well.
[For those who want just a little more quality for a little more price.]

MSI Motherboards
MSI Motherboards are sometimes very reliable and completely compatible with all of your components, and then sometimes things just go horribly wrong. Now, don't get me wrong -- most of the time you will be satisfied with the computer motherboard you receive. But sometimes there are compatibility issues and you may have to find work-arounds for them.
[For those who want a cheap motherboard thats not complete crap.]

There are many other brands that I didn't think to include in this, but I base most of this off of personal experience, and I haven't used any other computer motherboard brands. So, thanks for reading.
