Audio, Network, USB, Firewire & Disk Controller Performance
These performance measurements are really dependent on the South Bridge used and the auxiliary chips attached to the South Bridge. Both the MSI K9A and the ECS KA3 use the ATI SB600 South Bridge which has been thoroughly tested in earlier reviews. For more information on the comparative performance of SB600 you can refer to the in-depth AT review of the ATI CrossFire Xpress 3200 for AM2 Reference Board.
Similarly, all of the Audio, Ethernet, and Firewire auxiliary chips used in either of these boards have been tested in earlier parts of the AM2 roundup. Comparative performance results can be found in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the AM2 reviews.

I got it twice on every new page for the review. I also have Firefox and XP SP2. I wonder if they are being attacked.psychobriggsy - Monday, August 21, 2006 - link
Nice review, shame that I kept on getting pop-ups asking me to log into www.smarttargetting.net when I went to the next page (Safari / Mac OS X, not it's no IE Windows issue).Wesley Fink - Monday, August 21, 2006 - link
There are also pop-ups with IE. We have notified our IE support of the issue. They will fix the issue as soon as possible.Wesley Fink - Monday, August 21, 2006 - link
