I'd have to agree. I'm 0 for 2 on ECS motherboard.

My Hardware support friend also told me the majority of failed motherboard he usually deals with are ECS brand.

 
I've had my ecs motherboard for 3 years now with no troubles, but I still don't think I would buy one again. They are cheaper but you get what you pay for, its not that great of a motherboard, even when I bought it.
 
I've had 0 problems with about 5 ECS MBs.

By the way, it's an AMD64 2800+ Retail / ECS combo today for $139. It's a retail CPU but it's the baby ECS MB although with built-in VGA.

I will second this man. I have built about 20 systems using ECS motherboards, I have told everyone to buy them without the return sticker on them and if they want to be extra careful, take it to customer service and make them test it before leaving the store.

I have only had one bad experience with ECS, and in the last year, I can say the quality of their products has definitely increased.

I picked up the 2800 combo for a computer to mess around with and I dropped my own AGP card in there, fired it up, got everything installed, pushed the fsb to 232 (max overclock in this bios revision, I am assuming it can go farther with the newer versions on the site) and I got an nice 2.09 GHz. I am running prime tonight to see how stable it is, but it completed memtest just fine.
 
I've had good luck with ECS motherboard as long as I didn't buy them from Frys. Frys & Outpost are just a waste of time as far I'm concerned. I'll pay the extra to get my stuff from newegg and know that it will work the first time and last longer than the 2nd rate/rebuilt junk from Frys.
 
I've built at least 50 sysyems with the ECS/CPU combo deals from Fry's. I've only had to return 3 boards in these 5+ years of using ECS and those boards wouldn't boot from the start. All the ECS systems I've built are still up and running except for one that croaked after 2 or three years. Just don't buy with the return sticker. The ECS boards from Fry's is the same as anywhere else. You don't really think the ECS says, well let's dump these crappy ones here to go to Fry's and the rest we give to everyone else? ECS main distribution source is just down the street from the Fremont Fry's here

darn.. ill have to think about this one then

what's the exact motherboard name? ill look into the bios and see what i can unlock.
 
They make two Micro ATX's with on-board video. Don't know which one it would be.

The 760GX-M (1.1) here with the SIS chipset.

And the K8M800-M2(1.0) here with a VIA chipset.
 
The 2800 combo at Frys in Webster Texas has ther ECS K8M800-M2 mobo.

$139.99.

The other deal is an Abit NF 350 with 3000.

Both had boxed Processors.
