Be careful. I recently got a motherboard that was listed on the second
site you have listed. The report said: "Supports eCS 2 RC1 well." I did
look at the manual and could not tell from the specs if everything was
supported. Only after getting the motherboard and running PCI.EXE could I
tell what was really there. Unfortunatly, the motherboard does not support
LAN or sound under eCS 2 RC2. (At least not yet).
