My new ECS K7S5A is on the way...I was just wondering what drivers/updates/flashes i will need to toss in ASAP when i build my set this baby up! Links would be appriciated. Thanks a bunch.
 
Yeah i saw that post, although i think that the number of people overwhelmingly pleased with that particular board is greater than those who are cursed by it. Also, it seems as though he equipment was defective. But thanks for pointing out a potential wrench in my gears.
 
There's an (I think) OCT '01 BIOS flash that fixes a floppy corruption problem.

If your case's HD indicator is 3-pin, you'll need to relocate one pin (it's 2 pins on the k7s5a), and be sure to seat your AGP card very well (it's a pretty tight slot).
 
I just built one and used the built-in XP stuff and did the Windows update. Rock solid. I know a bunch of people here say don't do the Windows update for drivers but it worked fine for me.
