It didn't take ECS, Elite Computer Systems very long at all to make their return to the Overclockers Online main page, less than a month in fact. In their debut here at O2, Simon gave a brief introduction to who ECS is, I will not repeat what he has already provided but add a little bit more information about this technology giant. In 1994 ECS became the first motherboard manufacturer in Taiwan to be publicly listed on the TSE (Taiwan Stock Exchange). Since that time ECS has done nothing but grow and expand. Not only do they produce quality motherboards these days, but the newly ISO 14001 certified factories in Guangdong province of China also produce barebones and complete systems including notebooks and high-end servers.




ECS has good relationships with all chipset makers and is early to market with all of the new technologies including the motherboard I will be looking at today, the KA1 MVP from their Extreme line of motherboards. Sporting the ATI RD480 and SB450 southbridge chipset, the KA1 MVP is the latest in a long line of successful motherboards from ECS. This board has everything including, SATAII with RAID0 and RAID1, 8-channel audio, Dual Lan, and is Dual core and Crossfire ready. So let's quit wasting time talking about it and have a look.
