Delivering an unprecedented combination of fun and power, new Game Union 648 (P4S8AG) and 746 (K7S7AG) mainboards are the world's first AGP 8X Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) onboard platforms for Intel Pentium 4 and AMD K7 solutions. Embedded with the Xabre 200 GPU and independent 64MB DDR graphics memory, Game Union series mainboards successfully integrate advanced DirectX 8.1 gaming features into a high performance platform loaded with innovative features including the DDR 400 system memory, USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394.

To provide convenience and flexibility for users taking advantage of the dramatic expansion of storage card usage for music, digital photo, digital video, PDA data and file sharing, ECS will bundle its 6-in-one Card Reader with many best selling motherboards. This card reader reads and writes to any card on the market today including Secure Digital/ Multi Media Cards, Compact Flash/ Micro Drive, Memory Sticks and Smart Media.

New platforms for a New PC Era
Further enhancing a burgeoning reputation as a leader in the design and manufacture of innovative, complete PC systems that deliver outstanding performance and quality in unique computing platforms, ECS will feature its highly upgradeable DeskNote A980 at CeBIT along with quiet, cool-running compact and expandable EZ-Buddie series and performance notebooks.

The A980??s modular design allows users to upgrade CPU, memory, display panel, hard drive, and even VGA to fit their various demands. Inheriting the convenience and affordability of its predecessors, the A980 provides outstanding flexibility for do-it-yourself users who customize their PCs from the ground up.

ECS's EZ-Buddie is designed to bring the desktop PC back to desktop while, at the same time, providing a friendlier input/output interface to accommodate the ever-increasing array of plug-and-play devices and applications now available for personal computers. The small footprint EZ-Buddie line features an onboard 6-in-one Card Reader, noise-free thermal design, a small, space-saving footprint and exquisite styling.

EZ-Buddie's unique EZ-Watcher system control panel monitors CPU performance and allows even a general user with limited knowledge of BIOS tweaking to adjust the CPU frequency to meet personal requirements by simply rotating the CPU Tuner. EZ-Watcher also provides clearly visible gauges that constantly monitor CPU temperature, system temperature, mainboard operation, memory, hard drive and CD ROM drive to catches minor glitches before they become major problems.
