Need some feedback on this board BIOSTAR M7VKQ AMD MICRO ATX

[Dea]

I am building some systems and I need some advice. I was planning to get the ECS K7s5a but I keep hearing horror stories. What do you think of this board BIOSTAR M7VKQ AMD MICRO ATX? Newegg has it for $53 or this one which is $59

Ive used 1 of these boards...very stable, not the fastest chipset I think, but stabel none the less.
Ive built several with the Intel variant (M6VLQ or R), no problems there either

I am looking to buy a couple of boards and this one is now 51.00. It looks too good to pass up. I hope I am making the right decision!!

This is not feedback on the Biostar board but another board option.
I just built a couple of systems with the PCChips M841LMR and have been pleased so far.
This board is based on the SiS 740 Chipset which is on a par with the 735 but with built in Video.
The video is superior to the S3 Savage 4 Video on the Biostar.
The board also has Sdram and DDr. It also has on board everythig and ships with an AMR modem.
I ordered through Pricewatch and got them for $50 each with a discount code listed on Pricewatch.Link to Board and Vendor

Antmanbee,
What size is video on that board? More than 8MB

The video is up to 64M selectable in the bios.
From what I have read the video is comparable to a GF2MX if used with the DDR memory which is not bad for a $50 integrated board. The down side for some is that there is no AGP slot, but for many it is not necessary.

if u don't stress too much on a performance it's a stable decent board
