Steer clear of ECS.

ECS is a division of PC Chips, a bottom of the barrel manufacturer. It may work just fine, but their overall record is not good. If you want an inexpensive board, it's hard to beat the Asus A7N266-VM for stability and quality.

AMD motheboards use a double pumped bus. You want to set it to 100, so you get the proper speed. 100x2=200.

I second the Asus A7N266-VM, you can't beat it for a budget build.
