Dude, at the risk of going DoomMaster on you, ECS boards are junk.
For the price of your headaches, you could pick up a niiiice nForce based AMD board or if you've got the $$$ and want the reliability and stability, go with an Abit or Asus intel board.
I just got an Abit BH7 (older board, but noted for reliability and stability) and am slowly building a new system around it. Totally new, too. This current box, while not "pokey" by any standards, is being passed on to someone else (800mhz PIII, gig of RAM, 70gb HD, etc.)
