ECS G31T-M9 Motherboard & Intel Celeron Dual Core E3300 Processor Bundle

Comment:
Intel Celeron Dual Core E3300 ProcessorThis is a good product for the money. Performance is decent even for low to medium requirements multi-player games. It would be a bit slow for CAD, very high end number crunching, and video editing.

Intel Celeron Dual Core E3300 ProcessorThis review is to bring balance to the force, LOL. What kind of knucklehead gives a 1 star review because they buy a CPU that doesn't work on their motherboard? Let's see, whose fault is that?

ECS G31T-M9 Motherboard Don't buy this unless you really need a Micro sized board. It only has 2 SATA ports, and one PCI slot. The PCI express slot was useless, due to the video card heat sink taking up that space.

ECS G31T-M9 Motherboard Used in HTPC. Good value for the money. Not a lot of fancy options but seems to be a good solid performer. Would have liked additional mb usb connectors and an spdif cable but all in all a good performer. Liked two pcie 1X slots. Worked with win7 32 bit with no issues. Sleep s3 mode using usb mouse and keyboard works. Just change motherboard jumpers for 5v standby.

ECS G31T-M9 Motherboard I was not looking for something extremely powerful so I chose this board. Good overall but was shocked to find out the onboard LAN (manufactured by Atheros) does not have default support of Linux OS. If you plan to run Linux with this board, closely verify driver's ability (I have not been able to install the one found on Atheros website).

Intel Celeron Dual Core E3300 ProcessorI really can't give this a review. It wasn't compatable with my MB.

ECS G31T-M9 Motherboard Ports are somewhat limited but it is working well. Easy to install. Good value for the money

ECS G31T-M9 Motherboard I don't know much about building computers but I figured how hard could it be. I bought this board an Intel e6400 cpu 2gb of ram and all the other stuff. I plugged and screwed everything together and it booted right up. I installed Windows XP without a hitch and have never had a single problem.

ECS G31T-M9 Motherboard Very bad quality. It is always overheating and generate random reboots after half of an hour after warming up. Don't support memory voltage over 1.8v.

ECS G31T-M9 Motherboard I purchased this mobo with a 2.5 GHZ intel dual core E5200 processor and 4G of corsair RAM. WOW... what a difference!!!!! My pictures open NOW... no more lag... I can't say which made the bigger difference but with the processor and memory together... I couldn't be happier. Thanks Tiger!!!!!! I forgot to mention, with rebates all together $165... that was the most important part to me. It was like getting a new computer for that price. The only thing I would complain about the mobo is the one IDE port... I got around it but overlooked it when I bought it. Otherwise good board and easy install.

Intel Celeron Dual Core E3300 Processor The proccesor performs as its priced. My one big gripe is that the CPU has a temp setting of like 36 degrees and that makes the heat sink fan run on high all the time which is somewhat loud. Next time I'll do some more research to be better informed of the specs.

Intel Celeron Dual Core E3300 Processor In addition to the faster clock speed and increased cache compared to other Celeron DC processors, the E3x00 stablemates have VT-x (hardware virtualization) support, which makes this CPU a real find for those looking for a cheapie VM test box.
