Matsonic MS8137C KT266A with Sdram and DDR

[eplebnista]

I saw it on PriceWatch at Sofistic.com for $63 and was wondering if Matsonics were any good?

Anyone have an opinion?

Matsonic is yet another retail outlet of the ECS/PC-Chips group of companies.

The board also goes by the name of ECS K7VTA2 - hardware revisions v2.x have the KT266A and 8233A chips,
older ones have KT266 and 8233.

Why go cheap on the most important part of your box? ECS/PCChips/Matsonic are garbage man.

Yeah right. That's why they skyrocketed to the #1 spot in worldwide mainboard sales, and have stuck
to it for the second quarter in a row now - in front of ASUS. Think about it.

I beg to differ. IMO, the integrety of a system's PSU is the first, most important part to be considered but usually is the last.

But anyway, my first system build back in early 1998 had a BX440 chipset Matsonic in it. I still have it, and through all the upgrades I've put it through it has never failed me.

Therefore, I recommend it highly.

Well, after not hearing anything until now(I just discovered I had some feedback), I have since decided to go with the Soltek SL-75DRV4 and converted to DDR(although I was trying to avoid it, as it is rather expensive now). I appreciate the replies.
