Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

We were really impressed by this motherboard, especially the fact that its on-board video was at least 10% faster than Foxconn WinFast 6100K8MB-RS’. Really amazing, since both motherboards are based on the same chipset (GeForce 6100 + nForce 410).

The model we reviewed from Foxconn had on its side the amazing number overclocking settings, however this model from ECS, has on its side its performance, two FireWire ports (which is a rare feature on motherboards with integrated graphics) and one PCI Express x1 slot.

Not to mention what we’ve already stated before: GeForce 6100 chipset provides a far better 3D performance than SiS 760GX and VIA K8M800.

ECS C51G-M754 provides one PCI Express x16 slot, so in the future you will be able to disable your on-board video and install a better video card on it. Some motherboards with on-board video we’ve reviewed are still using AGP slots, which will be phased out pretty soon. So with ECS C51G-M754 you won’t face the risk of not finding a compatible video card for it during the next years.

If you are looking for a socket 754 with on-board video, ECS C51G-M754 is our pick. You can buy it with your eyes closed.
