Low-end mothermoards - which BRAND to buy

[zubr]

Hello everybody!

I am going to assemble ~ 10 new desktop PCs for business - Law clerks. I have decided on AMD Athlon dual core 4000 AM2. I am also looking to buy a low end all-in-one motherboard. So far the least expensive is MSI, then ASROCK. My concern - not performance, but reliability. Is ASROCK better then MSI?

Any suggestions on the BRAND are greatly appreciated!

P.S. How come there is no comparison of low-end motherboards? Or did I miss it?

To my knowledge, MSI is better than ASROCK.

I dont know how "low end" youre talking about, but some good mobos under $50 are (good mobos in general):

MSI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130064

BIOSTAR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138077

Go with a amd 690 or a nvidia 7025 / 7050 chip set and you have to get a board that has a on board DVI port.
