ASUS M2R32-MVP vs ECS KA3 MVP Extreme: CrossFire Xpress 3200 Shootout

Looking at the two boards for overall value, the first place to start is price. Using various price search engines, we found the ASUS M2R32-MVP being offered for anywhere from $144 - 159. The ECS KA3 MVP Extreme weighs in a bit lower, ranging from $135 - 145. Taking this into account, unless overclocking is a serious concern, the ECS KA3 MVP Extreme has a lot more to offer at a slightly lower price point. With far more storage options, plenty of data cabling and expansion components, the ECS KA3 Extreme strikes a solid balance between features, performance and price. Conversely, if overclocking is a major factor, the ASUS M2R32-MVP is a great fit, but some might feel its overall retail experience is a bit lackluster for the price.
