ECS intros AMD, Intel high end boards

The firm introduced the KV2 Extreme mobo, a socket 939 board designed for Athlon 64s and Athlon FX chips, and which uses the Via K8T800 Pro chipset with a 8237 south bridge.

What does that mean? It means the KV2 Extreme will support up to 4GB of dual channel DDR memory, Serial ATA, Firewire, and AGP 8X graphics.

The board also supports dual LAN, RAID, and digital audio, and costs £69.50 plus tax over here.

Meanwhile the Intel board is the PF4 Extreme, a board which uses the i915P chipset and takes Prescott LGA775 microprocessors. This board supports dual channel DDR-2 400-533 memory, PCI Express graphics, four Serial ATA ports, eight USB 2.0 ports, and Intel high deaf audio. ECS has built in additional controller to add two extra S-ATA ports as well as Firewire.

This board costs £89 plus VAT. In the UK, ECS is selling this kit through Protac Direct Sales. µ
