via kt266a chipset is the fastest on the market right now. i just read the new mobo review at tom's. they recommend soltek and soyo. i am thinking of asus a7v133-e. anybody have these mobos? what are your experiences? what's the price difference in these mobos?

i've also heard of a really cheap ecs k7s5a 735. i did a search for at in anandtech articles but couldn't find anything. anybody know of a good review for this mobo?

also, the difference b/w spitfire durons and morgan durons is the fsb at 100 and 133 resp., right? where can i find the cheapest duron? newegg is selling 950 mhz. for $46, but they don't say whether it is spitfire or morgan.


 
Just for your info I've found the K7S5A to have poor memory performance when using a 200(Duron/Athlon B) chip. If you decide on this board get an Athlon C or a 900 or 950 Duron/AthlonB that only needs one bridge cut to run it at a lower multipier/higher FSB. JMO cheers🙂
