Woot! This is the first nForce board I've ever used.

Interesting. I've seen more degrading reviews of ECS boards in the past. Seems it's coming up from the underground budget range.

ECS has taken some serious steps forward over the past 18 months.
While I don't find them to be the best overclockers, I will say that I've been running two of their boards in friends systems for the better part of a year, and both are extremely happy with them.
I think the price and performance make them a grweat choice for anyone who wants a nice, stable system on a budget

I whole-heartedly agree. I used an ATI based s939 ECS board for a little while and my experience with it was great, never a single problem with the board at all :thumleft:
