General Comments

As an owner of so called 4 top end mobo computers Asus , et al, I hate to admit that the old ECS K7S5a keeps on, gaming while the others quit. True every slot on the board is filled, 2600 Athlon AMD, XP Pro, Albatron 5800 fxUltra, Pinnacle TV card, 1 Meg Legend pc 2100, Firwire, from card reader (below) floppy disc and usb for digicam. I cut 3 nice holes in the case with a hole saw and couple extra fans. I'm one of those who hated this board when I first got it, I grudgingly admit now it's bloody good, back to fixing my finicky top end (so - called) ASUS pcs .
My girlfriend picked the ECS 3 years ago (with no knowledge) she said it looked *Pretty* !! Does anyone know a better AGP 4X that will fit this ECS, to keep g/f happy please?

    Mick, try a G-Force4 128, I have one in my girlfriends machine and it has never hesitated or missed a lick in 15+ months of use by her and abuse by her kids and my grandchildren.
