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.
Are the Asus a7's generally good. I'm after one with DDR Ram

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.
