Introduction

The ECS K7VMA is an all-in-one solution for those who like their VIA KM133 motherboards with a touch of ProSavage graphics, and a hint of sound. Though primarily targeted at OEMs and low-budget consumers, the K7VMA also represents a compelling choice for anyone interesting in quickly slapping together a system with little more than some memory, and a processor. That said, Overclocking die-hards, and power-users will probably harbor little interest in the device, as they are not part of the market that ECS is attempting the cater to with their newest board.

Let's take a look.

Configuration

Configuration of the ECS K7VMA is extremely simple, essentially consists of selecting an FSB setting from within the BIOS "Frequency/Voltage Control" menu. No jumpers, no Dips, no problems.

That said, no options exist that would allow users to adjust voltage settings, or memory timings either.
