The ECS modes that provide a 31.5Khz display, namely Productivity mode and Productivity Interlaced modes use up vast amounts of your systems bandwidth and limit you to just 4 colors. The A2320 is a totally transparent device that has no impact on your systems bandwidth and works with all 12-bits of RGB for up to 4096 colors on your display. The ECS and A2320 can work together to provide the best of both as automatically as possible for to enhance as many of the Amiga's video modes as possible. I hope this helps!
