So, how many cases of problem ECS MB have you recorded? The problem
with anecdotal evidence is that it never qualifies as a scientific
survey. If ten of us used the same system and had the same experience
then probably number eleven would have the same experience.

But, what generally happens is that one person talks about his
experience with one system and based on that an entire product line of
a company is judged to be good or bad.

I have been running this ECS K7VTA3 for some time. It is a fairly
serious system; two FDD, Zip100, CD\DVD ROM, CD burner, HDD plus
promise card for additional HDDs. The only problem I have ever had
was when I replaced the CD burner with a DVD burner OS/2 would not
boot with DANIS506 above 1.5. Hardly reason to condemn ECS as a
supplier. That decision will wait until I contact ECS about this
775-A2 and see what their attitude is.
