my friend has the ecs motherboard and it only supports 333 mhz fsb for ram..... it's a ghey board.

Chipset is one of the most important things to look at when getting a new MOBO.

SiS, VIA = Not good.

Intel is always a safe bet.

Make sure your CPU is compatable and that your FSB speed match. No need having a CPU with a FSB speed your MOBO doesn't support.

You can also go to sites like Tom's Hardware.com and read some reviews he has done on some of these mother boards.

Lastly, look at your needs:

Typing, chatting, browsing.... Get a cheapo.

Performance and using your PC a lot = Pay the extra.

Hope this helps a bit....
