Can Anyone recommend ECS 945P-A

[junk]

i found it on newegg and also noticed its a recommended
mobo on this site...

does anyone have any thoughts or experience on this mobo?

thanks
(its for a video-editing system and i would prob try to combine
with 2.8 dual core processor if compatible)

Seems to be a decent enough board. Has the essentials, and would be compatible with your dual-core proc.

Personally, I'd be a little put off that newegg is the only retailer that carries it....of the big ones anyway. There was also a review written about a driver issue concerning the SLI options. I'd look into a bit more.

I really need to update my sticky soon, but yes it's on my list. Honestly, the main reason for its inclusion is that it's a cheap i945-based mobo. The quality is OK but not great. I might take that out of my sticky this next time. There are better options out there. Besides, if you're gonna spend the money on a dual-core P4, why buy a cheap mobo? $20-40 more will get you something that I would feel better recommending, like this Gigabyte mobo (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128294) for about $114.
