General Comments

I recently tried setting up a home system for video capture using an ECS K7S5A mobo and an Athlon 2400+. It would not work with 512Mb of PC2100 RAM. I was able to get the board to wake up once using 512Mb of PC-133 RAM, received the "battery low CMOS" error. The board thought the CPU was an 1800+. Seconds after this, the CPU smoked. Whatta deal... right. This board is a turkey.

    Tried it with PC133??!!! I think not....it doesn't have SDRAM 168 pin slots, which PC133 needs.

    By default on first boot, the BIOS settings revert to Duron values. The Duron has a slightly lower core voltage tham the XP, but if you were using a non-Palomino core XP (they changed about 1800+) you will fry the CPU!!! That I think is YOUR fault and not the fault of the mobo!

    I have a K7S5A motherboard....I found that if you FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS in the provided book, everything works well..I would assume the ***6A would be the same.
