ECS P45T-A Intel P45 Chipset Motherboard Review

[news 28]

Today we will be looking at ECS's P45 powerhouse, The ECS Black Series

P45T-A. The board arrives in a fantasy themed box, and features a nice slick

black PCB. The "Black Series" is the ECS moniker that is supposed to stand

for ECS's new focus on an enthusiast product line. ECS has long been a OEM

powerhouse, but they have often failed to crack the DIY enthusiast level

market. Does this board succeed? Read on to find out.

Quote: "The stock performance of the board was right were it should be. Even

though it utilized memory bandwidth that was about 33MHz slower (DDR2-800

vs. DDR2-1066), it was not enough to cause more than slight variances in

benchmark numbers. I would have liked to see ECS include support for the

faster FSB and Memory speeds, as the chipset clearly seems to support it on

almost all the other P45 based products. Why ECS choose not to follow suite

remains a mystery to me."

 

Thanks for a post!
