Introduction

I would like to thank ECS for supplying the tested motherboard.

The ECS G31T-M is a MicroATX motherboard that uses Intel's G31 chipset, the "G" stands for integrated graphics. This board from ECS is fully compatible with the new 1333 FSB CPUs and all Quad-Core CPUs. Since this board is targeted at system integrators and other market segments where price and total system cost is important, it is obvious that the memory of choice is DDR2 and not DDR3. If you need more graphics performance than the integrated Intel GMA 3100 Media Accelerator can offer, you can add one PCI-E x16 video card.
