Viable Alternatives to the ECS K7s5a motherboard?

[madlucas]

I've had my share of frustrations with the K7S5A board, and am tired of not being able to get the AGP working on the board. I am curious to see any boards that the assembled thinks are a good alternative. It must be able to support a 1.2G Athlon Thunderbird, and PC2100 DDR RAM. Right now I'm looking at the
Gigabyte GA-7DX. Thanks for any suggestions!

The Abit KG7& Asus A7M266 are excellent performers/OC'ers and the Asus has great onboard sound, IMO.

A7M266 is the way to go. Best stability excellent performance, reliable. Remeber though, the setup on these boards is more involved than the ECS. You will have to deal with more jumpers at first, then loading the 4in1's and AGP mini port drivers. Worth it in the end, but more involved. Good luck.
