hello friends.i have recently seen a mobo from ECS which has a socket 754 with nforce 4 single chip 4x ¿?¿?¿?¿?. has pci express. Can any one tell me anything about this mobo?for the price it has..has very good avantages. and its only 77 euros.for running an athlon 64 3200 is enough??

or would you prefer
GIGABYTE K8NS PRO NFORCE 3
DFI LANPARTY NF3

i want to consider the fact that has PCI EXPRESS and it´s future prepared also with 4 sata.is it just a good apearance of a bad mobo?¿?
 
Ecs is low end stuff. You get what you pay for, but some ecs boards work fine for years. Warranty and bios updates are limited, and you have to pay them a handling fee for direct rma's to replace a defective board. I have an ecs board in my backup system and it works, but I can't overclock it or adjust voltages. There are no settings for these options.
 
ECS has gotten beter over the years, they are the 2nd largest manufacturer of mobo's in the world, but they have a long way to go still. I would look elsewhere.
