What do You think of ECS K7VTA3-RAID

[KidKasha]

Has anyone had experience with board ECS K7VTA3-RAID. Is it a real shortcoming not having USB 20.
The price runs about $75. What do you think is there a better board for the same price range.

Recieved this board yesterday and its up and running now.

First impression: ITS PURPLE! Looks decent in my windowed lian-li. After plugging it in I noticed it was running the FSB on my athlon xp1600 at 100, not 133. I had to find a jumper on the motherboard (look in the manual, i think its JP4) to switch it. Which leads me to my main gripe about this motherboard: no overclocking options!!! Cant set the CPU multiplier or the FSB. A shame, but I may look around for modified BIOS's that allow this. Hopefully there is one.

RAID works perfect. I pulled my RAID-1 setup from my old rig and hooked it up and the promise controller recognized it right away in bootup. Windows recognized it easily after I manually added it using the add new hardware thing in windowsxp. Drivers for it are on the motherboard CD.

I'll update with further impressions but it seems to be going good right now.
