ECS Too Goes For Nvidia Based Motherboards

Elitegroup Computer Systems, better know as ECS, is one of the computer hardware manufacturing companies that are focused on delivering complete solutions at an affordable price tag and now it just announced the launch of a new mainboard powered by a Nvidia chipset that is aimed at Intel based computers.

The new mainboard from ECS is now available under the commercial designation of GF7100PVT-M and apart from the Nvidia nForce chipset it also comes with an integrated graphics solution centered around the GeForce 7100 graphics processing unit. The GF7100PVT-M mainboard is able to house the latest generation of Intel made central processing units like the Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme families of processors, while at the same time it is ready for the next generation of Intel products that will be built using the 45 nanometer fabrication process.

Thanks to the powerful integrated graphics core, this new mainboard is well suited for multimedia intended computer systems as among the connectivity options there are DVI and HDCP as well. Like all other Nvidia nForce 600i series of chipsets, the one that is integrated into the new ECS product comes with native support for a full speed, full lane PCI Express x16 expansion slot that make it easy to install a discrete graphics card if a more powerful solution is needed.

Closely following the Nvidia guidelines for the nForce 600i series, the ECS GF7100PVT-M features two random access memory slots that are capable of housing DDR2 memory modules running at a maximum speed of 800MHz, while the total installable amount of RAM goes up to 8GB. Other features found on this new mainboard include a 8.1 channel high definition audio chip, a Gigabit network interface and a Serial ATA II controller that allows several RAID configurations to be laid out.

The ECS GF7100PVT-M is also RoHS compliant and according to the manufacturing company it is ready to deliver the performance needed by users attacking the latest games and multimedia applications.
