OCworkbench has posted their review of ECS's new PT880-A board which uses VIA's new PT880 dual-channel DDR chipset! Here's a snip.
ECS dishes out another Pentium 4 solution based on the new VIA PT880 Dual Channel DDR400 chipset. The ECS PT880-A supports the Socket 478 P4 and Prescott making it one of the newer member of the ECS line of P4 boards. This board uses the VIA PT880 paried up with 8237 South Bridge. It supports DDR400 with up to 3 GB of DDR400. In terms of expansion, it supports 1 AGP 8x, 5 PCI, 1 CNR slot. It can hook up to 4 IDE HDD and 2 SATA (with RIAD 0 or 1 configuration).
When it comes to ECS, everyone will think that there is no overclocking functions. That is going to change as the PT880 does introduce a minor voltage overclock function to its vcore and vdimm. So how does it perform against the other P4 chipsets. Lets read on.
