I want to upgrade one of my systems. Does anyone know anything about this mainboard? Is it stable? The mainboard that I presently have in my system is an older Shuttle. I purchased it from TigerDirect as a Mobo+CPU combo. The worst purchase I have ever made. The only operating system that will it will take is ME and XP PRO(it always crashes, regardless). I'm not saying all Shuttle mainboards are crap. I'm just saying the one I have sucks.

The Gigabyte that I'm looking at is priced at $53.00. I don't want to make same mistake I did with the Shuttle. I planning to purchase my AMD XP processor some time in the near furture. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks....

I have the board here, rev 1. I bought from New Egg , I tested with my Athon and Duron and the board is doing fine with PC2700, the only problem I see with the board is it has the IDE conector there are way too low so you will need long 24"cables. I think the SIS chipset is stable, there is no overclocking in the board but you will be fine, I know there is a Fic board with the same chipset and I will take that one.
