ECS MoBo

ECS RS482-M754 A 3200+ AMD Athlon 3200+ 754 ATI RS482 Micro ATX Motherboard / CPU Combo
ECS RS482-M754 A 3200+ AMD Athlon 3200+ 754 ATI RS482 Micro ATX Motherboard / CPU Combo

Pros: Lots of features, low cost.

Cons: Poor Quality Control. This is the 3rd ECS MoBo I've purchased and my last. 2 were DOA and 1 would not get past the LoGo screen.

Overall Review: Unless you have plenty of $ for return shipping and lots of time to spend on the phone with ECS tech support, stay away from these boards. Newegg as always was outstanding with their customer service.
