Really? They make video cards and memory. They're video cards have a "lifetime" warranty, but only for the shelf life of the product, not like eVGA's warranty.

It seems they do make a lot of Quadro cards. But they are up to date with the consumer products too.

Asus has such horrible issues with their BIOS'es that i'm forced to agree with the 3 thumbs up score. That and the support forum is actually ran by commoners, you never see a techy in there. It's no use I swear. And not so long ago their download servers were so slow I thought I fell back to 9600bps modem.

I love ASUS boards, but not the price, and I've found their support to be among the weakest around.

As to MSI, their products are very good....but again their support is pretty bad.....Most of the MSI boards I've dealt with have a shelf life of about 3-4 months, then you simply can't find them.....and good luck getting BIOS updates from them.

You'll find a lot of PNY products at places like CompUSA and Best Buy. they are overpriced POS to be frank. It seems their marketing strategy is to basically prey on the uneducated who have an OEM and have to upgrade or replace a part, and don't know better.

I would never go PNY, and I'll agree with Capper on all of them, especially with EVGA, love their videocards and their latest mobo.

I agree WhiteEagle!!! I have had 2 PNY video cards, and both took a big dump on me!!!

One was a ti4200, and the other was a FX5xxx of some sort, never buy another one!!!

What I also love about BFG is the lack of red tape involved. There's no requirement to register your card within 30 days, and the one time I thought I needed an RMA from them (turned out I didn't), they didn't ask for a receipt.

BFG and OCZ are the two companies that rank top on my list of warranties and customer support.
