For those that don`t know it`s a SiS 746 chipset AMD(Socket A) based board that uses 184pin DDR266/333 modules also AGP 8X support, a CMI9739 supporting AC97 6 channel audio chipset,Xabre 200 GPU 64mb on board,Onboard 10/100Mbps LAN,USB 2.0,IEEE1394.It also has a 3 phase power supply.

It's interesting, but lacks an AGP slot.
I'm waiting patiently (NOT!) for the L7S7A .........

L7S7A ............ thanks for the correction Peter.

You mean L7S7A? Just round the corner ...

I agree having no AGP slot is a killer.The onboard GPU will not be enough in the long run,so you`ll have to change the board to use an AGP card.

"To our surprise, it is a SIS 746 board but it comes with an integrated Xabre 200 graphics chip on board. Well. it's probably the first time I see discrete graphics chipset being built onto the mainboard."

haha, a newb reviewer. There have been bunches of boards with discrete graphics chipsets built onto the board. In fact, I'm using one to type this which is...oh...four years old.
