Good/bad points

Good, stable board. Have used hundreds in builds. Only remember 1 RMA.

What about the ASUS a7m266 is this one better

More expensive with the DDR slots, but have used those as well. Stable and fast.

I used those in builds one time as well. Good boards even though that model is nearly a year old. But with a bios flash, it will support athlon xp cpu's. The onboard promise ide controller is a great feature as well.
Only downside part, it uses the older via kt133a chipset and only supports sdram, no ddr.

I,m using the A7A board at the moment ,,,,have been a few comments about aladin chipset ,,,,might not be the fastest ,,,,,but it IS stable and NO via 4in1 probs.

Early boards had probs with ATI v/cards ,,,but fixed now.

1009 bios latest supports xp and morgan (duron) and ATA133 h/drives.

PLUS the board hold DIMMS and DDR (not at the same time)so u can use your dimms ,,,untill u sell em..

although the board is quite wide (check measurments)

have a look at <a href="http://www.scan.co.uk" target="_blank">www.scan.co.uk</a> ,,,,daily offers ,,,u might just find a bargain.
