Pros: This board was used for a customer replacement over 6 months ago. I know this person and the computer stays on nearly 24/7. the board has not failed yet. My advice to all--get a good power supply.

Cons: The manual is a bit scant but all I needed was the pin settings

Other Thoughts: good board for 462

Rating + 2 Frustrating mobo / video problems


Pros: The detailed bios made it easy to switch to the settings I needed to install Windows.It had the correct IDE,CPU,Power,and video cables and slots to plug into my tower.

Cons: I thought It was a halfway decent mobo until I Came across this problem with the VGA driver. Ever since that problem occurd I Havent been able to set the computer up. It also comes with a really crummy software CD. If I were you I wouldn't get this mobo its a piece of junk.

Other Thoughts: I might try to return this mobo for another one.

Pros: Worked great with my AMD XP 2600. Onboard video isn't bad..

Cons: Spent a week trying to install sound and USB drivers until I realized they weren't enabled in bios. I've been building computers for 20+ years, have never seen onboard components delivered disabled.

Rating + 4 Can't complain for the $$


Pros: I've read a lot of reviews on this board and was very hesitant to purchase, but as another newegger stated, "...there really aren't many boards to choose from in the Socket A (462) family. I too had a eMachines w3052, Semprom 3000+, 512 MB SDRAM, PC2700 machine whose board hit it. For those keeping notes, I had a (FIC) First International Computer K7MNF-64 mobo. My thoughts:
1. Reviewers stated mobo was DOA. I was concerned about this, but I knew newegg RMA would be easy, just a PIA. My board, thankfully, was not DOA.
2. Others stated the documentation was terrrible. I would generally agree, but I also agree with those readers who stated if you've done this before the documentation was sufficient. The included manual reviewed all the major onboard headers and that's (in my opinion) all you really need. For CPU/heatsink/Fan/Thermal Compound install, sorry, find other docs or rely on experience.
3. Others said they had to complete S/w rebuild after install. I had no problem with XP Pr

Cons: 1. Barebones board, no question, but whatcha expect. The technology alone is totally old school. You're not dealing with socket. Things would be easier if it were Socket (AM2), 754 or 939, but it's not.
2. I do agree with another reviewer, another onboard USB header would've been great. Since I had 4 front-side USB devices, (3) 2.0 ports, (1) media card reader, I needed a USB add-in card. I decided on the PCICARD, Koutech I/O Flex PFU331 RT. Overall, I think it was a good choice.
3. If board was DOA, I definitely would have been annoyed. Who wants to deal with RMA and who know if next board delivered will work. Could go on and on as one reviewer noted.

Other Thoughts: Not much. A couple of extra onboard headers on the uATX/mATX (To keep the newegg community happy)board would've been nice.

Pros: Very good mobo i got a AMD athlon 2.0ghz processor on it and its the best motherboard i have ever had. It replaced an old motherboard that broke so this is a very good motherboard

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: well i have heard that socket A is pretty much going so i would recomend a AMD athlon 64 or something better than socket A.

Pros: Cheap. Installed fine, recognized all internal and external peripherals.

Cons: I managed to get Win XP installed but unexpectedly it fried. Literally. Burning smell in the air... I replaced it and the new Mobo works which confirms the cause. NO overclocking involved...

Rating + 4 I was lucky this time...


Pros: The only board I could find that matched my Socket 462 processor and memory and was in stock. Good replacement board for many E-machines that are 3 - 5 years old.

Cons: Had to re-install Windows before I could load the drivers that came on the included CD.

Other Thoughts: I too was nervous about buying this board after reading all the reviews about DOA boards. After not finding any other choices in stock anywhere I said a little prayer and went for it. Fortunately, the prayer was answered and it was fully functional. I was hoping Windows could start right up with my hard drive restored with the E-machines restore CD, but no such luck because the chipset is different and you can't load the chipset drivers without Windows running (Catch-22). It would be nice if these replacement motherboards came with bootable CDs that would load the drivers for you without having Windows running first.

Rating + 3 Nive for XP 3000 or lower


Pros: Nice layout, easy to work with. Mildly inexpecsive.

Cons: If you have an Athlon XP 3200+ this board does not support it. In fact, I could not find any boards that do (that have not been discontinued).

Other Thoughts: Even though the board would not post (I had a 3200+, not supported), I am holding onto it, just in case someone I know has an old Athlon 3000 or slower and needs it.

Rating + 3 Doesn't work with processors


Pros: Cheap...other than that I wouldn't know.

Cons: CPU compatibility minimal. Never got it to boot (POST, etc.). Tried with 2 different processors until I found the obscure CPU compatibility list on Foxconn's website (http://www.foxconnchannel.com/EN-US/upload/Compatibility/200603210945259669K7S741GXMG-6L.htm)

Other Thoughts: Would probably buy again if I knew my CPU would be compatible. NewEgg should probably consider adding the CPU compatibility lists to their product description.

Pros: Smaller Form Factor, Onboard VGA (which can share over 64MB RAM), low cost

Cons: Driver cd menu poorly produced, lack of instructions for BIOS and board settings (for pc newbies)

Other Thoughts: For the price, this board is solid. With any MB, you may get a great one or a bad one. This one was a "good catch".

Pros: Very nice assortment of features including on-board video which I didn't notice it offered. All the standard ports needed for a cheapo computer are there (sound, lan, usb, video, etc)

Cons: Failed with a known good processor resulting in a nice burning smell. Luckily nothing of mine was damaged except the board itself.

Other Thoughts: Would have worked well except the extremely minimal CPU support of the board.

Pros: It's a beautiful drop in for a broken eMachines.

Cons: It doesn't work. No POST no nothing. Same as the others. I guess I was feeling lucky but as another reviewer pointed out it has a 50% (or more) mortality rate.

Pros: absloutly nothing

Cons: Just bought this last week, came in on monday and its DOA when I bought it I only did a quick glance at the reviews shown in front and notice it had 4 eggs. Now I wish I red every single review because now I did I believe I counted in the sum numbers of 48 motherboards being DOA and out of 118 Reviews, that basicly gives you 1 out of 2 boards purchased being bad. This product in my opinion should be discontinued.

Pros: Well....It got 189fps on fear with a sempron 2600+ barton, 1gb 333 ram, x1600xt...2360 on 3dmark06...almost as good as my pentium 2.8 running a 6800gt.....and double the ram....Plays BF2 and all the others with little to no hitch

Cons: Be careful with the overclock utilitys, board wont support 2.0ghz or more I found...didn't matter witch processor is in it...Stable at 1953mhz but not 2005ghz... Oh yeah! only 2 ram slots, and your windows xp .sys register Burns up when you overclock it too much, and reinstall windows!! Have fun!

Other Thoughts: Would have bought a board with more ram slots, This board runs hot, Coool the hell out of it and it will love you, Ala NH nightime air being forcefed into it... 40c...under load i've seen as high as 63c...If you know what to do, this little board will perform admirably with other asus oard and the like...

Pros: Good replacement for eMachines. Supports 8X AGP. Has front audio & USB hook-ups.

Cons: Must have absolutely the WORST quality control imaginable. Read the other reviews. Appears to be over 50% failure rate. Mine lasted 5 minutes before "kicking" a few times and dying. (Note: used Athlon XP 2400+.)

Other Thoughts: Only take a chance if used as a replacement for eMachines or equivalent. Unfortunately, there aren't any good 2nd choices that I could locate.

Rating + 5 Bought as a combo with Duron 1.6


Pros: Booted right up without any issues. We'll see how well it does over the long haul! A very basic MB without a lot of frills but for the money who cares as long as it performs. I was surprised that the install went well after reading all of the other reviews about being DOA. I must be one of the lucky ones!

Cons: None at the moment.

Other Thoughts: Time will tell if this was a good purchase but if you would ask me today about this MB I'd say go for it if you don't want to spend much and you don't need high end frills. This is my second Foxconn MB. The first is still running great. BTW, Newegg rocks! I buy most of my PC parts from them and the service is great!! I got this MB in 1 day and I've never had an issue with returns!

Rating + 4 not bad


Pros: Inexpensive, fits well in a Emachines case. Has 8x AGP slot so I can add a a video card soon.

Cons: AGP/video driver was no good on the disk that came with this mother board.

Other Thoughts: Maybe it's me, but the SIS chip set seems pretty tempermental. The board was unstable with the AGP/on-board video driver set that came on the driver disk. After downloading and installing the newer driver combo set from FoxCon the board is stable

Pros: Cheap

Cons: When I got this board in I installed a new CPU and memory. Board would not post. Removed CPU and memory and tested in a known good system. Both CPU and memory tested fine. This is the firt board that has come to me DOA. I shpuld have read the reviews more carefully. I am the CTO of a computer consulting firm, that builds hig end systems and does PC repair asd well. This was to be a quick fix for the customer and now I have to send the board back and get a replacement.

Other Thoughts: All in all: This MB is not worth the risk. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands to waste shipping and replacing boards.

Pros: The Foxconn K7S741GXMG-6L Socket A (Socket 462) SiS 741GX Micro ATX AMD Motherboard was very easy to install. I tested it outside the PC case. Fired right up. Tested and then installed board and hardware. Quiet running quick booting in WinXP. CD had the drivers needed. I used a AMD Athlon 2200 CPU. Good speed. FYI don't think this M/B will run with anything less than 2200 CPU. I had one sitting around and wanted to use it. There is still a good Socket A 462 board out there. Shipping was great. Placed order with GoodEgg Friday at 4:15 CST. UPS delived Wed mid-day. Good job rocking GoodEgg.

Cons: At this writing can"t think of any

Other Thoughts: Consider this M/B only if you have a AMD Athlon 2200 or better CPU.

Cons: I installed a working Duron 1.8GHz CPU in this mobo and it wouldn't POST. I tried pulling out all PCI/AGP cards, swapping memory, even using a different power supply. Still no POST.

Other Thoughts: Even though the NewEgg descrip says it will use a Duron, the mobo box doesn't list Duron as a compatible CPU... only the Athlon XP. This might be a printing error... and it might not. At any rate, NewEgg was very diligent in giving me an RMA for a DOA. I very much appreciate the customer service of NewEgg.

Pros: Extremely easy to install. Everything was well marked on the board. The manual had a quick reference photo that was well marked and easy to read.

Cons: If this is the first time installing a motherboard, the manual is lacking on installation instructions. It doesn't explain what some of the things are you're hooking up. It's written for folks who know what they are doing which is fine for most of us, but not good for the first time builder.

Other Thoughts: I would certainly purchase this item again should I need another board anytime soon. I had a problem with shipping through UPS. I paid the $20 for overnight as I had my poor box spread all over the kitcen table. The driver claimed he stopped at my house but no one ansered. At the time he marked the attempt, my wife waz sitting 5 feet from the front door on the couch. I had to drive all they way to the distibution center about 45 miles away to pick up my board and tell UPS what I though of their drivers. I really wish NewEgg would switch to Fed Ex.

Pros: Price. Would have looked nice in the Foxconn case I bought for it.

Cons: 1st board DOA. 2nd board DOA

Other Thoughts: After getting an RMA replacement board back DOA, I never even bothered to send it back for a second RMA to get a third board as the cost of shipping keeps adding up and the odds of another DOA aren't worth what it costs to send it back. If you simply must have a socket A board, pick a different one. Otherwise, you can find a cheap combo and get onto a 64 bit technology for a few bucks more than the cost of this board and two or three shipping charges until you get one that works.

Pros: Went in without a glitch. I replaced an old mother board that went bad in an E-machine S1940. It was a perfect match.

Cons: However good old Microsoft XP freaked out cause of the different motherboard and blue screened on the the first boot up after installation. I will have to re-install Windows XP and I know I'll have to call Microsoft and re-activate Windows cause of the hardware change. I hope that Vista rids itself of this annoyance.

Cons: None that i can think of. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones not to have a dead board on arrival based on other reviews of this board.

Pros: Usually has many features for the price.

Cons: I have bought many Foxconn motherboards. Have also had many fail, some more than once. RMA'd one through the manufacturer. They sent me back a different board (watered down model) and neglected to tell me.Figured it out 4 months later when I went to use the gigabit ethernet port and it only ran at 100mbs speeds. Emailed the manufacturer about it, and after a week of going back and forth, they did little to help me.

Rating + 2 FOXCONN K7S741GXMG-6L


Pros: None.

Cons: Would not properly recognize Sempron processor, although documentation says the CPU is supported. Flashed the bios with latest update, but the situation did not improve. The board ran slower than a P-75! All settings including FSB speed and memory settings were verified to be correct, but the performance remained the same.

Will not buy another FOXCONN board.

Pros: Great little board with no problems yet been running for 4 months.

Cons: Not much of a manual.

Other Thoughts: Saved my parents lots of money by replacing their dead motherboard with this one. I was able to use all other hardware from old computer. 1700xp Athlon.

Rating + 4 Good board for small change


Pros: easy installation, cheap price,good layout, good onboard video

Cons: the manual

Other Thoughts: I used this board to replace a nforce2 ultra board from leadtek that i payed almost xxx dollars for years ago. I was pleasantly surprised at how good of a board it was, it actually seemed faster than the nforce2 it replaced. The onboard video is good, but since it was so fast i put a old radeon 9600 on it so when my wife is not using it, i can use it as a backup gaming pc.
