ECS 945G-M3 Viiv ECS 945G-M3 Viiv: HTPC enthusiasts will certainly take interest in ECS' latest Viiv motherboard. Being a mATX board will also make finding a HTPC friendly chassis a little easier.
Date: September 5, 2005
Manufacturer: ECS
Written By: Brook Moore
Price: $88 USD

SiSoft Sandra 2005

This slew of tests should help us determine if the 945G chipset is just another mATX or is it a contender for your hard earned money, not to mention the time you spend building it.

SiSoft Sandra 2005 - CPU

SiSoft Sandra 2005 - Memory

SiSoft Sandra 2005 - Multimedia

While the numbers aren't drastic, you can see an advantage going to the ECS 945G-M3. Remember, this is the exact same CPU in both motherboards.

The memory benchmark flip flops with integer going to the 975X and float going the way of the 945G.

PiFast

With what happened in the above synthetic test, you would think that PiFast would be fairly close as well... You would be right of course, with a slight nod going to the ECS 945G.

TMPGEnc MPEG Encoding

Now for a continuing theme, yes the TMPGEnc times are tight, once again ECS coming in with a slight victory.
