Three ECS AMD A75 Motherboard Officially Unleashed

As was being expected from about two weeks ago, hardware maker ECS has gotten around to making the formal introduction of its very own set of mainboards with support for AMD's newest APUs.

With AMD Llano APUs now on sale, and with a bunch of supporting motherboards already out and about, it is not surprising to learn that ECS has also created platforms of this variety.

After all, ASUS, ASRock and Biostar all have either detailed or outright begun selling their respective creations.

It turns out that ECS has a total of three mainboards powered by the Hudson D3 chipset, for the moment at least.

They carry the names of A75F-M, A75F-M2 and A75F-A (Black Deluxe) and are of the micro-ATX form factor, except for the third one, which is of the full ATX variety.

The A75F-M features 4 DDR3 memory slots, as well as six SATA 6.0 Gbps connectors, one PCI Express x16 port (for graphics cards) and four USB 3.0 ports, plus 8 channel audio (with S/PDIF) and three display outputs (D-Sub, HDMI and DVI).

Meanwhile, the A75F-M2 has only 2 DDR3 RAM slots, the same number of USB 3.0 connectors as above, 6 SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, one PCI Express x16 slot of its own and 6 channel audio, plus HDMI and D-Sub (DVI is optional).

As for the A75F-A Black Deluxe, it has five SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, four USB 3.0 ports, one eSATA, one PCI Express x16 slot, 8 channel audio with S/PDIF and four DDR3 RAM slots.

It now falls to prospective buyers to decide whether or not any one of these three is to their liking, provided they already have an A-Series APU (accelerated processing unit) or intend to buy one.

Needless to say, the company's official website has all existing information on the platforms, except for pricing details.
