Is anyone using the ECS K8M800-M2 (with VIA K8M800 chipset)?
Since I recently got this board bundled with an Athlon 64 3200+, I was interested in adding an 8X AGP card to this mobo (bought a Radeon 9800 Pro). Was wondering if somebody had added successfully an AGP 8X card to this mobo.

I have read that a DFI mobo with the VIA K8M800 chipset (with its integrated video chipset) trails in performance an equivalent mobo with the VIA K8T800 chipset by about 5-10 percent, when both mobos are fitted with an 8X AGP card.

Have not found any similar data for the ECS K8M800-M2.

I would like to hear from people who are using this mobo, whether good or bad experiences with same.

The last issue I am concerned with is the range of overclocking (if any) with this mobo with the add-on AGP card.

Would appreciate any feedback on these issues.
Thank you,
