Bay Area Fry's CPU MB combo - ECS75A + Bare XP1900 for $159

[fengpc]

Seems like a good deal to me. Till 5/14.

 

[GotSomethingCheaper?]

Nice.
Has this been any lower?

 

[Mecheater]

Dang.... that's dirt cheap probably still goin to be 189 up here in sacramento

 

[Renob]

does that board have on board sound, and what kinda ram does it use?

 

[Marauder-]

Yeah - it's about pricewatch prices. Currently a XP 1900 is $120 while a K7S5A is $45 so if you include shipping costs it should be the same as paying tax.

<< does that board have on board sound, and what kinda ram does it use? >>



Yes it has onboard sound and it uses pc100/133 or pc2100. It has 4 slots for memory (2 each).

 

[kerokeroppi82]

still a good price tho for a xp1900 combo

ECS board is a good board (on-board lan and sound, takes SDRAM or DDR) IMHO. I jumped on the Duron 950 and ECS combo deal last time when it's $69 and it's VERY stable combined with Windows XP. Never had any problems. Just want to share my experience.

Did the ECS K75SA/Duron 1ghz $79 deal the other week. Runs rock stable@ 10X138=1380 mhz out of the box at default voltage! OC options are limited however by this board. But with onboard LAN and Sound couldn't beat the price!

 

[raskash]

now is this on board lan 10/100?

 

[amdskip]

yup, onboard 10/100 built in too

I bought this motherboard + CPU combo several weeks ago from Frys when it was $199. On my system, WinXP won't even boot up if the cpu is running any faster than 1.2 GHz.

are you using generic ram? what about your power supply?

?? What the hekc does that mean? ISn't this a Athlon XP 1900? Why doesn't it run faster than a 1.2ghz?

 

[amnesiac]

Bought 3 of these boards for 3 systems. 1 was DOA, 1 works but is incredibly unstable, and 1 won't accept anything faster than 1ghz. But now I have one working fine with my Athlon 750. Good board if you have good power and good luck, I guess
