They are one of the lowest, not the lowest. Here is a question for you. Name all the motherboard manufacturers that have their product carried by both, not just one, of the top distributors in the world (i.e. Ingram Micro and TechData). Answer: Intel, Micronics, AMI, EFA and you guessed it, Pcchips. BTW Where does... "If you want repeat customers it would be a good idea to sell quality parts." Help me with... "Hello, I have recently run into a problem with the PCchips (Alton) 747, M747, 7047 (all the same board)." I don't recall asking for business advice. Most qualified business consultants cost thousands of dollars. Are you giving it away for free or am i getting what i paid for? If you somehow were infering i would not run into problems with a different brand motherboard, i can refer you to any number of newsgroups like: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.aopen, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.elitegroup, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.fic, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.giga-byte, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.m-tech, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.octek, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.qdi, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.shuttle, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.soyo, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.supermicro, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.tacos, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.tyan, alt.comp.pheriphs.mainboard.supermicro where any number of people would beg to differ. Having personally built or rebuilt over 3000 systems, and overseeing many thousand others in the last 11 years I have come to this conclusion on warranty returns... 1 in 100 - have never seen it in motherboards 1 in 50 - maybe AMI, but it is probably more like 1 in 40 1 in 30 - just about everybody else, including Pcchips. 1 in 20 - everyones lowest end board (cheapest) including Intel, Asus, Micronics, Pcchips, etc. This is my own personal experiance...your mileage may vary... So should i use AMI only? Does the cost justify the quality? Do they have the variety, availability, or the price i want? We can't all drive a Jag... For anyone who is insulkted that i lump Asus with Pcchips or Intel with Shuttle or vice versa... Buy 100 of each and do your own test...or save some time and money by realizing this is a QC comparison only and an opinion...also...i'm sure **insert favorite name brand here** motherboard is the best brand by far...;-) Thanks, Ben Siegrist B&H Computers ben@bhcomp.com randy wrote in message ... >Actually I was offering help with your PC Chip motherboards and the fact you >have been selling them. > >Have you ever wondered why these are the lowest cost board you can get.
