favorite motherboard you've owned?

I liked my old DFI Ultra D a lot. Definately better than my Gigabyte K8NXP-SLi i had before it. Good features, stability etc. However, my Abit IP-35Pro is pretty awesome. It's mainly the layout that i prefer, everything is positioned better and i haven't had a single crash since setting it up and overclocking.
 
My DFI Ultra D is still running great in one of my systems.

One of my most memorable motherboards has to be the Abit IT5H revision 1.5. A Socket 7 board released around 1997.

The Abit NF7-S v2.0, as remembered by others, also brings back fond memories, then again so does my DFI Lanparty nForce 2 Ultra-400 that too is still running in my Sons rig.

Then again I'm enjoying my Gigabyte revision 2 GA-P35C-DS3 board that I'm using now :)

So much for choosing just one favourite eh :D

NF7-S v2 for o/c-ablilty, shame there isn't an equal 939 version

AN8 Ultra will do ~325 external clock before you have to touch a chipset voltage etc. to get higher.
With a 9x multi CPU that's 2.9GHz & @ 10x that's 3.25GHz if your CPU can do it.
Simple, hassle free, reliable - just like an NF-S except no nb fan to whine or fail :). No Soundstorm though :(
 
My old LanParty 875P-T was a gem, came bundled with all sorts! but I would have to say my current mobo Asus P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi AP edition, its rock solid and very well specked :cool:

I remember the pain of the early BIOSes, after i did 10pcs for a guy who ordered the parts himself, also remember the poor build quality and 4/10 rmas :p

what about their requirement for a decent PSU (180w on 3.3+5v) rails? I seem to recall....and they hated generic memory lol :p....a bit like PC Chips boards I used to own....ECS K7S5A was the same as a PC Chips M830 iirc, same SiS 735 chipset and took both SD RAM and DDR.

on that note well done to cheepoman and honey-x for modding these some of the BIOS' for the K7S5A to sort the cold boot issue and to allow overclocking of the FSB.
 
Even though I've only had my EVGA 680 in for less then a day, I'm stunned by it. So much better so far then what I've had before.
 
It's a tie between the DFI Lanparty NF4 Expert and the Lanparty NF3 250

My nf3 board took my clawhammer 1.8ghz all the way to 2.75ghz on air rock solid. Loved it to bits and it looked awesome too.
nf4 was much harder to get stable at oc but I got a really good oc for my x2 batch and it looked amazing at lanparties with 4 uv cathodes on it :D
 
ASRock dual-sata2 skt939

Ran my Athlon 3000+ (1.8ghz) at 2.5ghz, absolutely rock solid.

Had both AGP and PCI-express ports, I used both in the end.

Also had a slot for an AM2 upgrade board which I unfortunately never used but heard worked absolutely fine!

All for about £40 haha
 
Either

ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe

or

My current Board - P5K-Premium 'Black Pearl' (488x8 on my Q6600 & gave me 12.906secs 1m SuperPi :D)

Only bad thing about this board is that some numpty decided it would be a good idea to put the SATA connectors right where the gfx card sits, so a couple of them are unuseable! :mad:
 
Showing my age (again!) - Gigabyte GA-6BXDS with dual Slot 1 550MHz PIIIs. No overclocking but unconditionally stable as long as there was enough cooling for the rear CPU. I used it for years until I got my Iwill dual S370 board which I still have somewhere.
