Built a system for a friend with the K7S5A and had no probs
but i'm sure you've been scanning the forums and have seen
people with complaints about this mobo. I'm running a K7S6A
myself and can say except for a USB patch download this
mobo's been rock solid. For the money, it's a steal. And yeah,
based on my experience with the 6A I think it's the better
choice.
