Here's a review on this board:

Guy seems to love it, so I picked one up. Hard to beat the price on a 266A board, although I prefer the ECS K7S5A for overovall stability .

Go with the Epox EP-8KHA+. Its only 20 dollars more and Its a better board overall.

Plus i believe 80-90 percent of the people who bought it on anandtech recieved new boards for those who do not like referbs or have had trouble with them.


Epox 8KHA+
The last board on the list.

Damn board has enough problems without being a refurb! I should know, I have two of them. Actually, I like the board, but it's had a ton of problems. Make sure you flash your BIOS first thing to the latest or you may encounter the "no post from cold boot no matter what the hell you do problem" as many, many of the owners of these boards have.

Do you know how the K7S5A stacks up speed wise compared to the KT266a chipset?
