Having a hard time finding many "new" boards for a Slot A. I don't want a used or remanufactured one. The only 2 I've found so far are the Gigabyte GA-71XE for about $100 and the Soyo K7VIA for about $70. I've used the Gigabyte board before in a system I built for my mom. I must say I was ...

I have a Athlon Slot A 850MHz currently on a Tyan S2380 and I want to ditch that board for something a little more reliable. (I've had nothing but problems with it) I will be giving this system to my sister-in-law so it doesn't need to be anything awesome. Just reliable, easy to setup, and not cost ...

I've tried this mobo with every flavor of windows there is. I keep getting all sorts of errors, lockups, freezes, blue screens, etc. I've tried all the new drivers, got the latest BIOS flash, started barebones, etc. I really don't know what else to try. Anyone know what the best BIOS settings are? I...
