Not a fair comparison since the Fry's deal is for a K7S5A NON-Pro. Also, with the travel time and crowded parking lots and long long lines at the computer component desk, going to Fry's can be a two hour ordeal.

What's the dif between the original (version 3.1 mb , i think mine's 3.1 anyway) and this so called "pro" version?

Also , I upgraded the bios on my ecs k7s5a to the latest greatest version and with a 1.2 duron, and a 256 stick of pc2100 ddr, I still have to set it to 100/100 in the bios in order for it to run stable. Way back in the ecs threads someone posted a cpu clock choice of like 112, ,etc....numerous choices, what Bios allows that? I only get 100/100 100/133 and 133/133 and only the 100/100 works without lock ups. What's goin on?

133 is for xp. u overclocking your duron doing that.

Not in my Fry's never experienced a 2 hr ordeal. plus I read here that you can call Sunnyvale Fry's and order there. Pretty fair to me. Tax in lieu of shipping charges.

ECS K7S5A Bios's

FYI: The ECS doesn't allow voltage tweaks but my buddy just got his Newegg xp1700 to 13x150 on this board. That's almost xp2400 speeds with no extra heat or noise.
