ECS A780GM-A
$80.00
Released August, 2008
The Pros:Bright colors look pretty cool, great for a transparentcase. Above-average performance from the onboard video, pretty quick, renders HD video well. Documentation is thorough and well-written.
The Cons:Takes a very long time to boot up after the CMOS clears. Onboard audio causes iw3sp errors occasionally with a few games. BIOS tends to read memory timing incorrectly, need to set it manually and trick it into the correct timing.
The A780GM-A is an ATX motherboard produced by Elitegroup Computer Systems, based on the AMD 780G chipset architecture. There are two versions, the GM-A 1.0 and the GM-A 1.1.
