Agreed, but it isnt just the PC-Chips boards, its also the SiS chipset that they have. And how you have to install the busmaster drivers to see the cdrom in win95. But the busmaster drivers are on a cd and too big to fit on a floppy. Aint they smart?

My boss (the owner of the store) insists that PC-Chips (in all their integrated glory) motherboards are just as good, if not better than, Abit or Asus or Tyan motherboards. Of course, I've lost count how many of those PC-Chips boards we've RMA'd now...

PC Chips suck
I'm not gonna go into the details, cause it ruins the story, but one time, I ran over my boss. I didn't go to jail and I didn't lose my job.

Wanna get more power outta your PC? Flip the switch on the back or the power supply to 230w. You'll almost double your power! Anyone eles smell smoke?
This happened to me twice while replacing Acer motherboards. While trying to pop off the heatsink from the old processor I not once but twice popped off a small resistor near the damned CPU socket. I spent about an hour and a half on each one soldering it back on because I didn't want to order a new one and wait another week for the part to come in. Well, in both instances it worked! The system posted and booted just fine after. My fellow techs thought it was pretty damned funny me trying to get this tiny 1mm resistor back on with a big-*** soldering iron and thick gauge solder.
