The motherboard does not significantly effect the overall performance at all. The package came with a printed manual in a simple binding, not the normal fully decorated manual. I don't know if it is standard. To sum up, the Me has nothing to make it stand out or impress me. Performance was nothing to write home about.
Stability is good.
The board has decent on-board sound and a modem connector via an optional connector. For a basic home computer the board is fine, and due to some cost cutting by ECS, is affordable. Gamers and performance buffs, hold your nose up to this board. All Content Copyright 1997-2000 PC Media, Inc.
