User Reviews for ECS (Elitegroup Computers) nForce 570 SLIT-A (V5.1)

  • Reviewed by: Ordy

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Nothing really stands out

    Weaknesses: No Firewire header. Other than that board is okay

    Overall Evaluation: Just using this board until 590's come out. It is an OK mobo. Was surprised that it didn't have the firewire header. Not sure on support as I haven't had to use it yet.
