Looking for a board(s) with specific built-in features

[networkman]

I'm looking for a couple suggestions on reasonably priced boards with the following features:

SocketA - AMD XP processor support
onboard video
onboard 10/100 lan
preferably BOTH SDR and DDR slots (like the ECS K7S5A has) - I realize you can't use both at once, but I'd like the option.

Additionally, I'd want them all on the backplane, not as seperate ribbon cable features taking up slot spaces. I'm not in need of any overclocking capabilities though. Any ideas?

My trouble thus far has been in finding one with ALL of the above features.. hitting 2 out of 4 is easy, 3 out of 4 is tougher, but I can't find one with all of them.

All help appreciated.

The PC-Chips 810MLR comes the closest, it even has the Vid on the backplane BUT it loses out on the DDR front - I think that you`ll be hard pushed to find a DDR K7 board with everything onboard as these all in one solutions bar "N-Force" are for the ultimo-cheapo setup and DDR never really came into that equasion

The 810MLR sucks big time and is a waste of anything faster than a cast off Duron-700.. Personally I`d forget the all-in-one route and go for a revision of K7S5a or PC-Chips 830LR with the onboard LAN and stick a vid card in it, even a geriatric 2Mb PCI Matrox-Mystique will outperform most on-board video systems by quite a margin (the N-Force being the exception) AND something like an old PCI Banshee will scream along

If you don`t mind spending the money (on both the board and DDR RAM) check out N-Force boards too as you get decent (though not even in GF2-MX league) onboard video

I got a better idea. Get PC CHips M841LR. It's in stock at Axion Technologies. This board is mATX, has On-Board SiS 315 Video, Sound, LAN, and Modem, and it has 2 DDR and 2 SDR DIMM's and uses SiS 740 chipset. It looks like a winning to me. I'd highly recommend it. The only thing that doesn't meet what you want is the no slots. The Modem in all likely hood will use a Ribbion or something like all PC CHips' Modems do, but everything else should be on the back plate.

ECS K7 SEM, except no DDR.

841LR, the only one I'm aware of that has it all. The modem is an AMR card, no ribbon cable here either. LAN, two of the four USB ports, VGA and sound are on the ATX connector block.
