EQS is one of the biggest OEM motherboard manufacturers in Hong Kong. With a wide range of solutions for each socket type and excellent user support, EQS Computers appears to have a very bright and promising future ahead of it.

EQS was among the first to support ATi's solutions for motherboard chipsets. In the A44P8-MLF model we tested a while ago, EQS used the ATi 9100IGP and IXP300 chipsets.

With the introduction of ATi's latest chipsets, the Xpress 200G/P and IXP400, EQS is now releasing a new series of PCI-Express motherboards for the 939 socket AMD processors. One of these products is the M56K9-MLF that we'll be reviewing here.
