I have an ECS K7S5Asystem already set up. I would like to set up another system using Win2k. What do you recommend? I want one to support ultra/133 hard drive, nic and possibly sound. I am looking for an inexpensive/cheap mobo like the ECS K7S5A. May be aboard like GA-8IEXP

Except for the lack of ATA133 it fits the bill though slower than the K7S5A and having on-board vid (though there is a 4x AGP slot as well)
BTW KidKasha have you been hitting the hash pipe :p The GA-8IEXP is a high-end Intel 845E board! you could buy 3 K7S5As for what 1 of those costs so your out of your mind if you think you can get those features for near K7S5A prices ;) If you don't want either of the ECS K7 boards try the SOLTEK SL-75DRV4 (Purple Ray Ver.) for 75$@Newegg. It has everything (including ATA133) but on-board LAN and you can get a nic card for 10-15$ it also overclocks well.

Why not use another K7S5A? UDMA100 or 133 makes no difference except in advertizing.

I agree with Peter, Revision 3 of the K7S5A has integrated 10/100 LAN.
