right ... ECS don't know how to make quality stuff. That's why Shuttle, Abit and of course Apple have them make stuff for them.
In short, ECS make cost effective no-nonsense boards that work. This is what made them big in the OEM world, where contracts are lost and won by the combination of price and quality, and where overclocker's toys are irrelevant.
So do you mean ECS makes moboards for Apple, the most overpriced hardware in the world? I just refuse to believe it, sorry.
The SIS735 chipset out performs KT133, KT133A, KT266 and KT266A. It is one very nice and powerfull board.Originally posted by: LegionX
from what i have read they are good boards, not the best for performance but good, not best for o/c but someare good, real good for stability.
basically if you want a board that runs stable and you dont plan on o/c ing and dont care if your MB is the top of the heap when it comes to performance you can save alot of money by going this route.

Not a question of belief ... just keep yourself informed. ECS have been making the iBook all the time (OK, ECS absorbed that particular notebook company about a year ago, that's also where the ECS DeskNote series comes from). They recently won the contract to make the new 12" screen model PowerBook for Apple. The entire thing, not just the mainboard.

The parrotish ECS-bashing crowd might have to learn something here ...

ECS, PCChips, Amptron, etc... use the SIS735 chipset in boards.
