Any ideas? I found a few for 70, but looking for as cheap as possible.


Thanks

Syntax is the rock bottom price brand of ECS Elitegroup. Expect no support beyond BIOS updates and driver downloads. But if you can live with that, why not. (Syntax are about no-nonsense boards using slightly aged, and thus very cheap, chipsets.)

Cautious though, this board has NO legacy serial or printer ports! If you need that, spend $10 more for an ECS K7SOM+ aka PC-Chips M841LU. These then also have the 962 south bridge that gives you USB 2.0 ports.

Go to pricewatch and search for sis 740, km266 , km400 . However I think the Asus board mentioned is better choice .

BTW- I recently bought an Asus KM400 board for about $68.00 . The performance is somewhat disappointing with respect to speed and onboard video . Looking back, I should have bought the Asus board or spent more and got an Nforce2 IGP board .
