ECS C19-A SLI review - Budget Intel SLI motherboard

For a budget Intel-based SLI rig, the ECS C19-A SLI (NVIDIA nForce4 SLI XE chipset) might be hard to beat at around $80. Many users won’t even miss the extra features and bundled extras found in higher cost boards. When it comes to performance, the C19-A SLI should be able to keep up with any other Intel SLI board, even those that are twice its price.

Although enthusiast-level boards do feature more BIOS options, the C19-A SLI has enough of the basics to help you get to the next level of performance if overclocking is your thing. The board proved to be stable and easy to work with. Additionally, it offers performance equivalent or better than that of 945G and 955X boards. The C19-A SLI’s value is undeniable.
