AMD and Pentium comparison chart
I am looking to buy a ECS C51G-M754 (V1.0) AMD Athlon 3200+ mobo and CPU combo. I was wondering where I can find a speed comparison between AMD and Pentium. I want to know how an AMD Athlon 3200 compares to Pentium speed.
And I would strongly advise AGAINST the ECS motherboard, in my experience...
AlbertaBeef,
Yes the ECS is just a joke, this is worst motheboard in the market.

Can you guys please elaborate about ECS being the worst motherboard out there? Is it the quality control? Driver support?

ECS' problem is one of production #'s. Most people don't know they're (most years) the number 1 (in quantity) producer of motherboards in the world. They make boards for many companies including Epox, Abit, Lenovo (IBM), and more.
They have, over the years, strived for huge production #'s, which unfortunately usually comes at the expense of quality...
They're 'Extreme' line of motherboards is different... they're trying to focus on higher-quality/smaller production batches with this line of boards, and I must admit, they're not BAD motherboards... but that's only one small line from a HUGE company.
Stick with quality Tier1 manufacturers such as MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, etc. and you'll be much happier.
