I would wait with everything, especially the VGA, the 7900GT will appear about these days and the 7800GT will go for cheap or you want to buy a 7900GT ! Also a HD and DVD writver maybe usefull. But why don't wait for the motherboards to arrive and then see if the ECS or Aopen or the i945 boards (which i think ain't, i945 just can't clock with it's stupid locks ) better.Quote:

I am guessing that the ECS will be better, just a strange hunch.
Me too, because the Extreme ECS series are for enthousiast and the ECS will be cheaper too I think :)Quote:

At least for i975Xa-YDG in US......Could some peep with ASI/Ingram Micro access check availability of this mobo by next week?
Seems like it will be difficult to get it from e-tailer (newegg etc.):(
Tested solo and duo on 915GME and my developer Dothan board. No boot on both boards.
The Dothan board is not an Intel chipset.
I also have an SIS chipset to try next.

I have asked ECS to provide us a few boards for the top guys and I also asked for a group buy. This would assure ECS top spots in all benchmarks as well as a huge leap forward in board development.
Make some noise, ECS is viewing watching this thread and the Yonah competition and I want them to know how hot this board can be.

- All tests with such equiptment, with same brand mobo as due to first availible, hell, that would be one heck of a PR stunt, especially for a company such as ECS, known for not very great overclocking abilities, it would be a major breakthrough...
EDIT: Not only would it change ECS's image, it would increase Intel sales as well, but thats besides the point... (not all people know the true power of yonah...)
EDIT2: Just in case some ECS technician should read this thread, would be quite neat if layout could be changed... - a 5mm increase between mem sokkels, would be better for moving heat away from mem, not that DDR2 makes much heat, but still, it shouldnt be a problem, and might give that last something, also, some DDR2 takes advantage of a bit vdimm, so no limit to 2.2v, allow up to 3.2 and let people fry their mem if they want to, while others can use 2.7-2.9v on their 5400UL's...
They could also give us a more manly board....Purple is kinda :eleph: and the 'extreme' SB sink is a knee slapper too ;)Quote:

come on ECS
Very nice charles I bet ECS will get a huge bump in sales if XS's top clockers preview their mobo's. Everyone will see how well it does and wanna get one:)Quote:

njkid32, indeed, but not only XS users, if the top clockers in that thread get their hands on such items, it'll be all over the web the results... We're talking bigtime... XS especially ofcause, but also forums in Denmark, Japan, Netherlands, Greece, and all the other contries where the clockers live, the "national" forums.. :)
I'm awaiting posting results on a danish forum, tweak.dk :)
- And this aint because its AOpen,ECS or whatever, its because its YONAH, a new core with great protential, which ofcause a motherboard manufacture would have great interess in making best board for, and this is the time for showing the worth...
i hate the wait game. Fugger, sign me up for a board :). I got too many yonah, no board to test on. I feel like it is such a waste putting a T2600ES in my Dell E1705 lol.
Im really curious how T2500 compares to T2600.
:D my friend just got DDR2 booster by Geil
