ECS EliteGroup A790GXM-A review

Product: A790GXM-A mainboard
Manufacturer: ECS Elitegroup
SKU code: A790GXM-A-V1.0
Information: ECS
Street price: $139

ECS EliteGroup A790GXM-A reviewYou know, whenever a budget segmented product is to be found, there's ECS. But since ECS is trying get a more reach in the enthusiast market, I wasn't surprised to see them release the product as shown today.

A mainboard in the 125-140 USD range, yet ECS style - with a bucket load of features like integrated graphics, HDMI connector, passive cooling, 8-channel sound, dual GigE ethernet, Crossfire ready ... and decent tweakability.

Obviously I am talking about a mainboards based on AMDs latest 790GX chipset. A mainboard chipset that proofs its strength and by all means is really fun to work and play around with. When you plant the two chips from AMD on a mainboard from ECS, they'll try to do some more stuff. So that's we'll be focusing at today.

The product is called A790GXM-A, is based obviously on the 790GX chipset from AMD, yet comes with the luxuries of ECS, as this is their "Black Series" products.

Let's have a peek at what ECS has brought to our doorsteps today and put it through the Guru3D test lab trenches.

We also promised to review a Phenom II AM3 processor on the new DDR3 (AM3) platform. And that's what we'll be doing today. We will review the A790GXM-AD3 motherboard from the folks at ECS Elitegroup. This article will entail two primary focuses. The first being a review on this motherboard, the second... to observe if we actually see a performance increase from DDR2 over DDR3 memory.
