ECS G33T-M2. How is it?

[xfatalherox]

Has anyone had any experience with the ECS G33T-M2 motherboard? Well, I'm currently still stuck on a 3800+ 939, and local fry's electronics has a combo deal going on for this motherboard, along with a Core 2 Duo E6750 for only $219.

Is this a good deal? I'm gonna be using it for gaming, and I'm planning to add a 8800GTS 320MB soon.

thanks

Anything to do with ECS is bad news

yes good deal purchase you must /yoda kind of. On newegg the E6750 costs $219 by its self not including a motherboard. The ECS G33T-M2 MAY have some overclocking features, its strange some of the boards have some overclocking features albeit minimal and some have none at all. the ECS is a solid motherboard just lacks OC'ing features go with it you'll be happy.
Edit: It does not have any IDE ports, to apache "Overall, the board has great potential for the workstation environment" that just about sums all the conclusions of the reviews.
EditEdit: Youll need DDR2 ram either 667 or 800mhz.

I'm using the ECS PF5 board, before that was the 945P-A, before that some funny budget thing with both DDR1 and DDR2 support (not simultaneously though).

Stable boards, reasonably good performers, nice price. About the only con I've picked up thus far with ECS is that overclocking is a bit painful.
