I’ve been reading an article here about the earlier transgressions of currnet cheap-ass computer component manufacturer ECS (neé PC Chips/Albatron/etc.): it goes mostly over 10-year-old 486 boards that were sold with relabeled chipsets and fake cache SRAM on the boards. The thing I found the most interesting about them was that, when I saw the board pictured early on in the article, I realized that I had several of them in my apartment.. I’ve had one ECS board since - a K7S5A - and it was actually pretty decent but they’re not a manufacturer I’d use again. (On that note, I hope Foxconn isn’t part of ECS since I just bought a Socket 478 Foxconn board.)
