ECS AMD690GM-M2 AMD 690G Motherboard Review
ECS AMD690GM-M2 AMD 690G Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
Like you, there is nothing we like better than a super affordable platform that gives you almost everything under the sun!! With the acquisition of ATi, the 690G chipset came to life as one of the finest chipsets for a home theatre platform thus far.

There is virtually no performance difference between the various Socket AM2 platforms, at least it would not be noticable to users. The ECS AMD690GM-M2 is a perfectly adequate 2D workstation motherboard with graphics provided by the AMD 690G chipset.

The processor results from all the motherboards are very close. This is to be expected since all Socket AM2 motherboards are equipped with the same AMD Athlon64 X2 5000+ processor. Memory results from AMD 690G motherboards are slightly lower than the nVIDIA competition, let's see how this affects the other results.
