ECS G31T-M9 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
Simple Micro ATX worked well with both sata and ide. Great onboard sound. Had no installation problems.

works just fine .

Don't buy this unless you really need a Micro sized board. It only has 2 SATA ports, and one PCI slot. The PCI express slot was useless, due to the video card heat sink taking up that space.

Used in HTPC. Good value for the money. Not a lot of fancy options but seems to be a good solid performer. Would have liked additional mb usb connectors and an spdif cable but all in all a good performer. Liked two pcie 1X slots. Worked with win7 32 bit with no issues. Sleep s3 mode using usb mouse and keyboard works. Just change motherboard jumpers for 5v standby.

I was not looking for something extremely powerful so I chose this board. Good overall but was shocked to find out the onboard LAN (manufactured by Atheros) does not have default support of Linux OS. If you plan to run Linux with this board, closely verify driver's ability (I have not been able to install the one found on Atheros website).

Ports are somewhat limited but it is working well. Easy to install. Good value for the money

I don't know much about building computers but I figured how hard could it be. I bought this board an Intel e6400 cpu 2gb of ram and all the other stuff. I plugged and screwed everything together and it booted right up. I installed Windows XP without a hitch and have never had a single problem.

Very bad quality. It is always overheating and generate random reboots after half of an hour after warming up. Don't support memory voltage over 1.8v.

I purchased this mobo with a 2.5 GHZ intel dual core E5200 processor and 4G of corsair RAM. WOW... what a difference!!!!! My pictures open NOW... no more lag... I can't say which made the bigger difference but with the processor and memory together... I couldn't be happier. Thanks Tiger!!!!!! I forgot to mention, with rebates all together $165... that was the most important part to me. It was like getting a new computer for that price. The only thing I would complain about the mobo is the one IDE port... I got around it but overlooked it when I bought it. Otherwise good board and easy install.
