Are there any reaonably good SOCKET-A motherboards still available new
which take SD-RAM?

Asus doesn't look too hopeful but some of the links to specs on
http://uk.asus.com/products/mb/mbindex.htm#socketa
are broken so it is hard to check.

The chooser utility at Gigabyte seems to cover old baords as well as
current ones.

Thanks.


There are still quite a few places that sell
the ECS-K7S5A. Cheap but reliable boards that
come in two variants: DDR only and DDR/SDRAM.
The DDR/SDRAM versions have slots for both types
of DIMMs, but you can only use one type at a time.

In general I haven't been impressed with Epox
products, but the K7S5A was one of their rare
winners.

Also be aware that the K7S5A is not overclock friendly. I have the PRO
version of it running a 2000+ and can attest to the fact that it's very
stable.
