Last ECS I owned was from my Pentium !!!, in 2000. Heck, it wasn't a great mobo, but was able to work for 8 years (ofc, the rest also stood up for the job, except the RAM that failed a lot). Performance wise, it did what it was supposed to, as far as quality is concerned, it was decent but the BIOS, drivers and features made it outdated in 2 years...that was really a bad thing.
Good to know they're turning a page in their book!
I liked the knob idea! It's like the G25 steering wheel, every time i switched from manual to semi it was like i was doing the laundry. The one on the mobo resembles my trusty BoomBox's volume/mixer/balance/tone knobs!
I'll wait for the reviews to make decisions.
