I have previous experience with Elitegroup Computer Systems
(ECS
) in the past when I needed a cheap motherboard to tide me over to my next full upgrade. To my surprise it seems nowadays that ECS has been looking into manufacturing not only budget-conscious motherboards but the mid to higher end boards that offer greater performance and loaded with features. I was able to get my hands on one of their newest creations, one that supports the newer AM2 socket from AMD, the ECS KA3MPV Extreme.Before we get into the fun part how about a little blurb about ECS the company:
ECS, the Elitegroup Computer Systems (TSE: 2331), has been a pioneer in designing and manufacturing computer motherboards since 1987. It was the first motherboard maker in Taiwan to be listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 1994. Today, the company also designs and manufactures barebone and complete systems, such as notebook computers and high-end servers, for distributors worldwide.
Headquartered in Taiwan with business partners and distributors in over 60 countries, ECS has ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certified manufacturing facilities in China, capable of producing over 2.5 million motherboards and 200,000 notebook computers every month. The company currently has branch offices throughout the world in Americas, Europe and the Pacific Rim. To further extend its quality products and services, ECS plans to open additional branch offices in the new emerging markets including Brazil, India and Russia.
