I have a K7M. Very nice board. You just have to be careful of choosing a powersupply and memory. But that probably holds true for all Ahtlon boards. I have had a 700mhz classic and have a 900 mhz t-bird in it now. Worth over 20fps in Q3 for the upgrade (if your curious).

But to directly answer your question: Neither!

A quick look in pricewatch shows them for $75.

Why get one of those when you can get a Epox 8KTA3 or a MSI Turbo board for $20 more.

Both of the boards you are looking at take a slot A processor and has memory bandwidth limitations of its old chipsets. Oldschool stuff there.

The epox or MSI boards are both good boards with upgrade options far superior.

Unless of course, if someone GAVE you a slot A processor, different story.

BTW, I have a goldfinger device to sell you to overclock a slot A processor, neverused...hell, nevereven opened it! Email me, we'll talk.
