I'll give a good nod to my current board, a Soyo SY-K7V Dragon Plus! VIA KT266A 100/133 FSB. It has onboard sound and LAN, but both are well supported, and can be put aside with a simple change under BIOS. It was a really good option for me, initially, because when I built this box, I was somewhat low on cash. The onboard stuff saved me a few $$$ early on, though i've since upgraded the sound card to a Soundblaster Live 5.1. It also has onboard RAID, and supports up to 3GB of PC2100 DDR-SDRAM. Very, very smooth little board, even with just 256MB. I haven't made use of the RAID yet, but from what I understand, it works just fine. Both the processor and mobo have come down quite a bit in price since I bought it, so you could probably get them cheaply from a place like newegg.com or directron.com...assuming you want something in the 1+ghz range. - erik On Thu, 10 Oct 2002 15:43:36 -0700 Corey Holcomb-Hockin <crsntlvs@ipeg.com> wrote: > I've been having trouble with my a7a-133.
