Bad Points: Fries CPUs Does not like 512MB-64Mx64 DIMM PC2100-DDR SDRAM
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.

I have sourced our supplies from different hardware wholesalers and people like Maplins, and each one comes with problems. The main gripe is that they fail to boot at all. Then if you actually get one which boots, it has a tendency to "forget" which processor is running and revert back to initial s ...

I bought this K7S6A motherboard by Elitegroups some time ago and with it i replaced my good old faithful servant (Dual 500mhz Xeon SLOT-2) With an Athlon XP 2000+. I tried to boot it up with an BeOS bootdisc but it failed @ finding the Hard drive. I tried all patches but nothing.... Then eventually i gave up and installed the sour operating system by the name "Micro$oft Window$ XP". It booted as i expected and worked perfectly. But when i started Quake 3 i had below 200fps *Rubbish* i thought bu ...
