Kind of the most obvious, IBM, at least for consumer boards.

Had some abit, Epox (still got 3 old boards floating around) and Chaintech.

A lot of these suffered when AMD stopped selling as much and when nvidia stopped making chipsets.

aopen rocking a K6 350, not sure if my Matrox Mystique and Orchid Righteous was used with that too ?

Abit

One of my oldest friends worked for them for years. He tells me they went under after the Taiwanese owner(s) got sent to prison for fraud.

Didn't OCUK have these boards in the huge Seti Cruncher? PC Chips 810 if I recall.

Foxconn.

Made some decent boards I think.

Wasn't there something like ecs?

Edit: yeah, just looked a couple posts up about ecs.

Foxconn are very much alive.

They were a CEM even back in the day when they made MBs..

I had 4 or 5 Biostar Boards

For my big surprise they are still alive...

Loads. Including a few mentioned already. TYAN no longer make consumer grade motherboards.

Apart from repeating many of the boards / manufacturers noted above I remember a Socket 7 board called the Shuttle Hot 569, a TX chipset board. Whilst the company Shuttle do seem to be still in business I do not think they are making consumer boards any more.
I remember boards with 30 pin SIMMS and then 72 pin versions for the 386 / 486 era but I can't remember if the brands were renowned as they are today....?
