Yeah, pretty much. Although there is an inofficial BIOS that allows adjusting the FSB and the multiplier...

I wouldn't count on stability then, though.

I run my ECS board pretty much as is, ACPI enabled and everything. Apparently it works better with the XP than the Thunderbird, at least that's what NFS4 told me.

I am happy. >>


I didn't tell you, I just said read this article:

There have been reports of issues with the 1.4 and the ECS boards......but, I have to agree with the others, I have now built 7 systems with the ECS SIS735 board and they are all exeptionally stable WITH ACPI enabled...........very nice solution IMHO and the cost factor is a big plus for customers!
