you need a revision 3.1 board. should tell you what revision on the last pci slot i believe.

How about a Gigabit (byte?) Ga-7ZX-H

I have the newest bios installed

is there a small sticker label near the edge of the board close to the last slot?
there's a small "3" on it..
does it mean it won't support the XP chips?

kyo, I built my mate a PC using a revision 1.0 K7S5A and an XP1800, and he's had no bother at all. (this was only about 6 months ago)

You might want to flash the BIOS to the latest version, to be on the safe side - don't think it's absolutely necessary though.

The ECS website has the lastest official drivers.

Good luck!!

Latest BIOS

KYO....

Go for it.

It works.

That SiS chipset recognized

an XP2200+ right out of the box.
