I agree with ECS
Had one with VIA chipsets for an atlon cpu.
I've never had so many problems and couldn't find anyone to help.
Currently using an asus for athlon xp. Runs great.

Can anyone tell me what types of problems they was having with ECS? I
currently own one and I have don't really have to many problems. But if I
could choose one all over again it will not be this one.

I had an ECS motherboard, that I couldn't get to run with an AMD 2500
(well, it would run well at 1900 MHZ, but anything higher and it would
crash). Anyway, the online dealer that I bought it from claims that they
couldn't get the AMD 2500 to run with the ECS board either (even though
everything I've found on the net suggests that it should).
