Today we will be looking at ECS's P45 powerhouse, The ECS Black Series
P45T-A. The board arrives in a fantasy themed box, and features a nice slick
black PCB. The "Black Series" is the ECS moniker that is supposed to stand
for ECS's new focus on an enthusiast product line. ECS has long been a OEM
powerhouse, but they have often failed to crack the DIY enthusiast level
market. Does this board succeed? Read on to find out.

Quote: "The stock performance of the board was right were it should be. Even
though it utilized memory bandwidth that was about 33MHz slower (DDR2-800
vs. DDR2-1066), it was not enough to cause more than slight variances in
benchmark numbers. I would have liked to see ECS include support for the
faster FSB and Memory speeds, as the chipset clearly seems to support it on
almost all the other P45 based products. Why ECS choose not to follow suite
remains a mystery to me."
