Slightly OT, but what are the best boards for CentOS (if any) and how do
ECS boards stack up?
In my experience Elitegroup aka ECS are only slightly better than PC
Chips, which are absolutely the worst.
now, this doesn't mean that every board these guys make is bad, its
quite possible you could get a decent reasonably reliable system from
them, but the odds are probably against that.
This is where I jump in and confirm that ECS is a scam and a disaster.
There are a few models that seem to work well, but most ECS is just
plain junk. I've owned and sold a few ECS products and will avoid them
like I avoid ViewSonic LCD's in the future.
for that matter, even the best manufacturers have had some flakey
boards and designs. My most reliable homebrew systems have been
built around Intel branded motherboards, yet anything in the early P4
days using RDRAM was inherently problematic (i850, etc), even worse
were any of the Intel RDRAM chipsets that had the SDRAM bridges (i810
etc)
of course, with CentOS 4 and earlier, many of the newest chipsets will
have problems with driver support for the onboard peripherals.
