2 x DDR (DDR266/333/400 without ECC) SDRAM DIMM and 2 x DDR2 (DDR2-400/533/667 without ECC) SDRAM DIMM (up to 2 GB in total you cannot install DDR and DDR2 modules simultaneously dual channel mode is supported).Processor socket (Socket 775, it's claimed to be compatible with all top single-core processors from Intel with the FSB clock not higher than 800 MHz: Celeron D (345), Pentium 4 (570 and 660), Pentium 4 Extreme Edition (3.4 GHz)).CPU and board temperatures (by the corresponding embedded sensors).CPU and battery voltage, +3.3 V, +5 V and +12 V.Motherboard dimensions - 305x245 mm (standard ATX, ten-screw mount, all motherboard edges are firmly fixed). The motherboard has empty seats for a FireWire controller, a connector for a bracket with ports, WOL, WOM connectors, and a connector for a bracket with an additional COM port. The memory voltage regulator uses four 1000 uF capacitors reinforced with L elements. The 4-phase switching voltage regulator of the processor incorporates 13 x 1500 uF capacitors (manufactured by OST, which reputation is not very good). There are brief descriptions of jumper functions on the PCB. Access to the jumpers is not hampered even when the motherboard is installed in a case. Perhaps the only disadvantage in the PCB layout, which is not overcrowded with integrated controllers and connectors, is that the FDD connector is located behind the last PCI slot: when a high-profile expansion card is installed into this slot, it's very difficult to manipulate an FDD cable besides, this cable may be not long enough for a high tower. But the price to consumer justifies all these disadvantages in the eyes of many customers. Motherboard features are scarce: there are no additional IDE and SATA controllers or FireWire support (though there is an empty seat for it on the PCB, that is some future model may have it), the network adapter is limited to 10/100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet), the audio system is based on an AC'97 codec, despite the growing popularity of HDA.

That is the ECS RS400-A is obviously not intended for a high-performance workstation, it's rather a solution for home users, who upgrade their computers gradually. Quite a ponderable disadvantage is that this motherboard can accommodate only two memory modules not exceeding the total size of 2 GB, while the majority of modern solutions support 4 modules/8 (or even 16) GB of memory. Support for two memory types (not simultaneously) and three (!) graphics adapter types merits the Original Design award: Note that the so called AGP Express is not guaranteed to support all video cards, the list of models checked for compatibility is published in User's Guide on the official web site. Thus, AGP on the RS400-A may be useful only if you already have an AGP video card and do not have enough money to upgrade to a PCI Express video card so far (or if you are not interested in 3D performance at all). So today we shall limit ourselves to a small number of tests for confirmation. It certainly has a baleful effect on the system performance with an AGP video accelerator in modern games - we have already reviewed this issue in detail. But think about this - there is a similar situation with AGP and PCI Express graphics interfaces, and ECS engineers came up with a reasonable idea: "Why not equip a motherboard not only with slots for two memory types, but also with PCIEx16 and AGP (in addition to the integrated video in the chipset)?" Dictum-factum, but as the ATI Xpress 200 chipset (for both platforms) does not support AGP bus and there are no miracles, the miraculous AGP Express slot is just an overhauled PCI slot (that is it's connected to the chipset via the PCI bus, it's just designed in the AGP 4x/8x form factor). As DDR2 modules were initially noticeably more expensive than DDR, this approach could be quite relevant to many users. Since the appearance of DDR2 memory modules, we have often come across motherboards that allow gradual upgrade to the new memory type by supporting both DDR and DDR2.
