Is this a decent motherboard?

Atsumi · 07-17-2006, 08:58 PM

I'm building a PC come this September-December and first off, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this motherboard. It seems ok. Are there any "better" ones at about the same price range, perhaps?

Also, I need one that supports this processor.

Thanks guys!

the reviews are good and that CPU will fit that board. (Socket LGA 775)

Take a look at Mobo101 for some recommendations.

Note that ECS is listed under the "don't buy from these manufacturers" list in Mobo101. They're not as bad as some of the other manufacturers in that list, but they're certainly not top-notch.
