ECS RS480-M...How is it?

[Marinski]

I'm looking for a motherboard to go with an Athlon 64 3500+. Looking for a cheap mATX under $100. How is this ECS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135191
Anybody have any experience with it? Other Recommendations?

Fry's sells those boards in combo deals, so it can't be that bad. It has typical performance for an onboard video board. I've been using ecs boards for the last 3 years on most of my builds with no serious problems. These boards aren't designed for overclocking, so don't expect too much.

I won't be overclocking or playing games. I just want something for surfing the net, emails, burning dvds and music, photoshop, etc. I'll check out Fry's, thanks.

just built one with the rs485-m (AM2) and it is running great for the task you want to do.. don't expect enthusiast level board..just plain and cheap functionnal board.
