SIS chipset had bad luck with that before anyone Else bought this and it's running stable?

the 755-a2 isn't a bad board according to AnandTech's review....

I wish they would have a 939 combo sometime.

They do have a 939 Combo. DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D + AMD A64 3000+ Retail Box For $269.99.

I personally would get the same combo at Monarch for $277, shipped to your door, and it includes FarCry, Half-Life 2, and Free Napster.

CPU is bare for those that didn't notice the ad. Most of these A64/755-A2 combos have been boxed/retail CPUsl, like when I picked up the 755A2/3200+ A84 for 199 in December.

755-A2 is the best ECS mobo I've owned so far (and I'm pretty sure I've owned all of the ECS boards from all those Fry's combos!)

absolutely 100% rock solid stable, and with a little bios modding, great o/cing options!!!

took a 3000+ to 10 x 240 @ 1.55v

Interesting...

Are those full versions or just demos?

Full versions. Far Cry is on DVD, and Half-Life 2 is a coupon (which I assume you redeem online, and you download the game via Steam).

You will need a $15 coupon to get that price, which you can find on FW.

here's the link for the coupon thread.

btw: this still works, which is hella nice cause i'm ordering a DFI ultra and Venice combo tomorrow. woo-hoo!

thanks, jpeyton!

i have had no issues with it as far... knock on wood.
