How's that? ECS PR are very nice people :D

The second board is obviously more interesting, with:
Realtek 8 channel HD audio,
Realtek PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet,
eSATA (unknown chipset),
ICH9R with 6 SATA,
10 USB 2.0,
VIA IEEE1394a Firewire (2 port),
JMB351 IDE controller with 1 IDE port,
onboard pin outs for a Parallel port and serial port, with another serial port on the rear I/O,
Crossfire support (should be),
DDR2 800 and DDR3 1066
1333FSB Core 2 support.

On the mATX , what on earth is that pinout above the floppy? And to the left of the LPT1 port on the ATX board (by ATX connector)

LPC, it's usually low pin count but I've no idea what for. If I remember, I'll ask.

I'm assuming they're for the power and activity LEDs, as well as reboot and power buttons.


DDR3 looks promising, too. I've never seen a purple PCB, so that's quite a nice surprise, too. :P

The ECS extreme boards are nicer if you like purple, because they've got a metallic tint to the colouring.

Nope, that's far bottom left of the boards.

LPC is also used as a debug port, so could that mean they'll have some kind of LCD readout?

ohhh.. DDR-3!

First i though that was a funny name.. Beerlake.. then i read it again.. :D

We can only hope. ;)
