We tested the motherboard using an Intel Core 2 Quad processor running with

2.66GHz coupled with 1 GB RAM and 320GB HDD at 7200rpm and Windows XP SP3.

Because it's an entry level motherboard, we were expecting a just decent

performance. The PC Mark score on this motherboard was a decent 4761 and so was

the case with POV ray at 46951. It performed poorly while running the 3D Mark

benchmark which tests graphics capability with a score of just 542 3D marks. We

used the SiSoftware Sandra to check for memory latency and it scored 108ns. The

last benchmark used on this one was the Cinebench R10. The score while rendering

one CPU was 2178 which is decent for an entry level motherboard.

Bottom Line: ECS motherboard is a good buy at

this price as it has a decent performance and a good set of features.
