ECS A780GM-A 780G Motherboard

AMD’s progress of late has been rather slow. With Phenom being initially delayed due to poor clocking, and then being bitten by the TLB bug in its B2 stepping core, AMD’s Phenom has been a late bloomer. Although it has now come out of its shell, it’s still not able to kick Intel off the performance ladder.

Today we are testing out ECS’ AMD 780G chipset variant that is designed to replace the 690G chipset which was very popular as a value option. How does ECS’ 780G compare to the ASUS 780G we have already tested? Let’s take a gander.
