ECS K7AMA with the ALi-Magik chipset?

[rogue1979]

Has anyone tried this board? I downloaded a manual and it looked like it supported multiplier, fsb and cpu core voltage adjustments. It also does not have anything VIA on it, a priority for me. This is a third system, so I do not want to spend alot of money. Plan on using a axia 1GHz and some PC-2100 DDR. $80 shipped, the price is right unless someone can give me a definate reason not to use it. I have used ECS boards to overclock Celerons and P3's, kinda of generic, but they had the right features and good performance and stability.

From everything I've read, the Ali-Magik chipset that you will probably be using, isn't very stable. If you plan on running on DDR ram, I suggest you get a board using the AMD 761 chipset due to its perfomance and stability. Of course those boards do cost a bit more, but you get the added perfomance and stability you won't get with the Ali-Magik chipset. Good luck with your choice and your system.

Yeah MAGiK isn't a good chipset, low performance get 760 if u goin DDR.
