    Why Do People Rip The ASUS A7A266?!

    If I sold my A7A, I think I could get $220 Canadian. Money really isn't an object, what board should I replace it with in your opinion. I want a fast, reliable, and stable board.

    Why Do People Rip The ASUS A7A266?!

    8k7a vs. 8kha

    The 8K7A has the new AMD chipset. That's the good stuff you want to go with. The other one has the VIA which isn't as good as the AMD 761.
