The ECS P55H-A has gone with features as well as low price, dual PCIe slots, support for DDR3 up to 2130MHz and 8-channel high definition audio and there are mail in rebates that bring the price of the board into the $99 range. Steve did have trouble overclocking the board, but it is probably not anything that a new BIOS revision will not fix.
“Its feature set and benchmarks scores aren’t going to make consumers put it on lay-away for the holidays, but its ease-of-use and no-frills functionality are great selling points along with the $100 price tag. We’ve experienced a lot of ups and downs with ECS’s “Black Series” motherboards and we’ve seen where they’ve had to cut corners a bit to bring the price of the product down.”Here are some more Motherboard articles from around the web:
