I saw this review over on a Romanian hardware site...apparently ECS is releasing a new K7S5A board...the K7S5A2. It doesn't ship with multiplier adjustment, but there is a table silkscreened on the board showing how to change the multiplier with jumpers....check it out! One weird thing is that is doesn't look like the origianl K7S5A...it's PCB is that Abit tan color and the AMR slot is moved to the bottom of the board.
ECS K7S5A2 Review
"The interesting part of this motherboard test is that when I finished the test session I took the motherboard out of the case and I took one more look at the motherboard layout. I discovered on the board surface a little table with multiplier settings which were stated to be done by a group of jumper on board. I didn't find these jumpers but instead I found several other jumpers with apparently no role. I don't know why that table is printed on board but for a moment I thought I am so stupid that I didn't see the multiplier jumpers from the first time and the board is more feature rich than I imagined. Take a look to the picture in the left to see how the onboard table looks like. Quite plausible, isn't it

Things tha make you go....hmmmmm.
Edit: I was posting this when someone else posted something similar, so I am going to leave it.
