I got two of those last week in the mail, retail boxed and straight from MSI to replace two Pro-2A boards that crapped on me within a couple of months. Funny thing is I didn't even think they were still under warranty but called anyway. The minute I mentioned which boards I had the CSR said mail them in and we will send you 2 new upgraded boards!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA......anyway, the new ones are great so far.

What about the ECS K7S5A which supports PC133 and DDR ram and is a faster chipset and is cheaper at 54 dollars shipped at newegg....
Roger that, I agree, there are way newer/better chipsets for sale at a VERY REASONABLE price. Don't get me wrong, I have this board as well as other MSI boards(and epox). My boys & I kickass online nightly with this. But yes, the original KT133 chipsets (resistor in the wrong place issue) and SOME subsequent boards had some issues. (as does most any mfgr. from time to time). How much do you really expect for fifty bucks?? Spend a little more, get a little better. But, for the price & some reasonably priced PC133, joila!! instant gaming, er, uh, I mean computing. imhoYeah seriously, don't buy a KT133A mobo these days. Most of these boards don't support XPs out of the box, you have to flash them. Plus the KT133A was kind of a crappy chipset, it was buggy as hell.
KT133A not KT266A.
Which places it about 4 generations old. (KT400, KT333, KT266a, KT133a)

I've had nothing but excellence with the MSI K7T series.

Any mobos similiar to this or the K7S5A that have sdram and RAID onboard? I'm building a power machine with 1 gig RAM around but can't afford the DDR
