Motherboards - AMD

Pros: None

Cons: None

Overall Review: Looks like a few ppl have had probs, but ive built and upgraded 6 machines based on this board and never had a hiccup out of any of them ever, way way better than Via based boards ive fought with. Had the oldest board in a home system with a 1600+ running at 150 mhz stable with the cheeop oc bios, but this isnt really an OC board. Using half a gig of pc133 (2*256 cheap simple tech)that runs fine at 150, 64 meg gf4 4200, WD800JB and a sb live 5.1 and getting 10500 on 3Dmark 2k1. Oh yhea and an enlight 300w PS too. NOt bad and very stable for a sub-$500 machine. Will go with an Nforce2 board next but for the price the k7s5a has done me right.

Pros: None

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought this motherboard about 4 months ago along with an Athlon XP 1700+. Starting off everything worked fine, but after about a month the bios started developing alzheimers (losing date, time, and configurations). From there everything kinda went down hill, till one day the motherboard just wouldn't boot at all. On a positive note, Newegg ROCKS!! Newegg sent me the replacement, K7S5A Pro.
