hello all,
a friend gave me a Tyan MP (S2460) motherboard that does not work. fixing it would cost $75 so it is time to buy a new motherboard. The Tyan MP seems to have quite a few problems. The AMD chipset does not seem to work very well. i would rather not buy another motherboard with a AMD chipset (ie. 760 or 762) that leaves me with:
one AMD athlon MP 1600 FSB=266 Mhz Cahe = 256 Kbyte
two Kingston KVR266X72RC25/512 (512MB 266MHz DDR PC2100 Reg ECC DIMM CL2.5)
is there a motherboard out there that uses both? i would like to keep the price under $100. i like the Abit NF7-S2 and the Asus A7N8X Deluxe, but they don't seem to work with ECC ram. I have found one mother board that might work:
ECS L7VMM or L7VMM2, but I would like on-board LAN, NVIDIA nForce2 ultra chipset and ATX form-factor.
Are there any motherboards for me?
Thank you

I would be ok with a "in-person" trade if you live in the greater Seattle area. ECC ram for Non-ECC ram.
