I would rather go with 915 or 925 cheep set. New socket . . . upgrade will
be easier.

Recently, I have 2nd thought about selecting a i865PE mobo. I need
some advice on which to select: Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-G, ECS 865PE-A,
or ECS PF1 'Photon'.

The main consideration is price to value ratio (I'm on a very tight
budget), stability, and performance, exactly in that order. I
currently don't need FireWire and/or GBit LAN, and I don't like
onboard graphic adapters.


Pass on the ECS boards.
This board is the same price as the Gigabyte.
