ECS 915P-A junk?

[hewybo]

pay attention

are you still talking about the ecs board? accept it as the piece of junk it is and move on

you seem to be in a continually foul humor. if you'll read the previous posts, you will see that I was just trying to help someone who also got screwed with that board. I was trying some stop-gaps til some concerned, more experienced contributor helped the poor guy. perhaps "move on" is just what I will do.

motherboard is fried

My dad just told me the result in testing his chip in the motherbaord and it did the same thing so this is a comformation that the board is fried and that i wont be needing anymore help with it. Anyone know if the Asus P5wd2 premium if it is any good for.

I'm not familiar with that particular model, but I have an ASUS P5P800 in my machine, and put an ASUS P4V8X-MX in my mom's, and I think they're great. Easy installation, BIOS setup is easy, and offers a program to copy the current BIOS to a diskette, so if you have future trouble with updates/flashes, you can just re-install the original from the diskette, and start again

In this forum, and in many others, ASUS gets consistently high marks. Certainly better than any ECS. Just looked at it on newegg, looks like good features. the reviews were overwhelmingly good, but some said the onboard sound was not too good. My onboard is about the same, and though I have a Soundblaster, and don't use the onboard audio, I checked it, and it seemed fine. Good luck- again! :knock:

i apologize if i appeared to be rude, 'twas not my intent.

since new/different problems are supposed to be in their own threads (as per forum guidelines), you can see why i assumed that the subject hadn't been changed.

yeah, but he was obviously as much a noob as me, and found the right heading with the same mobo listed, so when I got the email notify, I thought I'd try to help. No real offense taken, but if you had looked at the dates & posts, you'd have known it was new. Oh, well ---------- onward and upward (apparently WITHOUT ECS)
