Additional Ideas:Overall this table has accomplished me properly. Just become certain to get the most recent BIOS before you fill your Operating-system and convert off AGP Fast Creates if you are using a 6800(Go learn the numerous community forums on nForce3/6800 combo). The BIOS can be practical but restricted on overclocking choices.

Benefits:Acquired no complications with this table at all. Works SATA, good overclocking ability, very stable, blazing performance with my WD Raptor (Travel is 75% complete and WinXP Pro still shoes like it has been a refreshing install). Really provides a air conditioning method for the chipsét (heatsink), everything is definitely spaced out nicely so wires can end up being out of the method.
Disadvantages:Could make use of even more fan headers, but most fans put on't require a mobo header therefore not really a big deal. Not a great deal of BIOS choices but for the typical consumer and even a strength user you will become ok. Increased end mobos will give you more settings to crack factors with.
Additional Ideas:Good motherboard for the price, I observe no cause to spend more, this chipset is usually far exceptional to the Viá KT chipset available for 754. I turned to this from the alternate chipset (ECS 755-A2) and my Aquamark score improved 3500 factors with NO OTHER Equipment/SOFTWARE modifications whatsoever and my boot/load moments reduced significantly. Very impressed overall, BUY THIS MOBO, it stones!
Ownership: 1 month to 1 12 months

Some other Thoughts:Therefore significantly, it'beds Okay for me. IF you wear't want to pay reasonable price for the motherboard, this will be the choice
Ownership: 1 7 days to 1 month
Benefits:Simply obtained the free of charge AMD 64 Central processing unit from my buddy. First time attempt to use ECS motherboard. So far therefore good. Good efficiency with my $60 AGP movie cards.
Downsides:Central processing unit temperatuer can be pretty higher at the starting. Blinking iwth the most recent BIOS appears fix this problem.
Various other Ideas:ECS is definitely not bad for me with this sensible price. I will consider ECS once again.
Possession: 1 day to 1 7 days

Some other Ideas:this is definitely a excellent budget plank and you obtain what you pay out for, after i finnaly obtained my memory to function with the panel its happen to be 100,000.000% stable, my 3200+venice oc'ed to 3800 no issues.
Possession: 1 7 days to 1 month
Benefits:Great price but not really worth it in the long run.
Downsides:Temp sensor chance right out of the container. Scans 65c on a fresh retail encased 3200+. Reinstalling the heatsink/enthusiast several moments helped nothing at all. I up to date the bios to the most recent one on ECS's website but still says 65c idle temps.
Additional Thoughts:The onboard lan is flakey simply because properly. The personal computer hard locks and restarts everytime I try out to set up the latest Nvidia chipset drivers everytime it gets to the installing the lan motorists component and detects the lan credit card - WHAM - difficult locking mechanism and restart. First motherboard I ever experienced that did this out of several hundred Nvidia chipset boards I've used over the decades. I finally kept messing with just installing just the lan motorists and got them to finally consider but you shouldn't have got to baby á motherboard like thát. This 1 is going back again for a repayment. No even more ECS motherboards fór mé.
