ECS A890GXM-A2 Motherboard Review

Elitegroup Computer Systems, better known as ECS, has been in the motherboard arena for a long time. We have seen a number of boards that date back to the Pentium era and beyond. ECS has always been known as the budget board designer, but things have been changing. The company has been putting more time, effort and research into its mainboards and it is beginning to really show. ECS brought its Black Series to us some time ago, which we have seen mature into a formidable opponent in the motherboard industry. With each change and improvement, the company is no longer taken lightly. I for one have been impressed with its mainboard offerings lately and was very excited when I had this particular board come across my desk. The Black Series boards are taking on a whole new shape with each release and I was eager to do this review. Today we are bringing a new competitor to the AMD arena with the ECS A890GXM-A2 mainboard. The A890GXM-A2 is built around the strong, tried and true AMD 890GX chipset, which includes the AMD SB850 Southbridge. Not only does this pairing provide stability, but they also have the speed and features we need to stay ahead of the game.
