For $89 you could get an ECS K7S5A and a 1.2 GHz Duron (though no heatsink, but c'mon, another $15 big deal) combo from Fry's (if you happen to live near one). That motherboard looks terrible, and what the heck? Onboard processor? Mean you can't upgrade or what? And what is 1200+? 1.2 GHz or is 1.2 another "rated" speed?

Did you actually read the description? This mobo has onboard video (in addition to an AGP slot). The K7S5A does not. This mobo is micro-ATX. The K7S5A is ATX. This mobo is obviously targeted at budget buyers who aren't looking for a high-end system. Official product link

Think before you post (but thanks for the bump:)).

If you have any questions about this product, you should ask the seller (Krex).

Oh Man, when did I become a Senior Member?

The K7SEM is a pretty good motherboard, but I have stability problems with the intergrated video.

Um I hate to tell you this but the K7S5A is leagues from high end. Still a good stable board, matter of fact I run it in my main rig now.. Think it's gotta be like the 3rd or 4th I've run in my home pc's.
This might be a good mother in law rig. I think I'd go with an nforce board and buy the cpu separate for and additional 40.00
