ECS K7S5A or IWILL KK266+

[ComputerMaker]

I currently have access to both of these as i was building a comp for my teacher. I was wanting to make the DDR swap. Should i keep the IWILL with 256 SDR or should i use the ECS with 128 untill next week when i can get 256 more. i would apreciate your help

Really, the Iwill is a great mobo. Runs fantastic with a good SDRAM. but if you have a chance to go DDR....

I am making the shift myself, Main PC is gonna be DDR, this 1 will be my back up.

I personally don't like the ecs k7s5a motherboard. I seen to have a lot of "blue screens" and mostly general instability issues. I have also never seen a board as picky as this one on video cards.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, you can get them for about 40.00(Brand New) on the internet if that tells you anything!!!

My K7S5A is very stable. only blue screen I get is when I try to push my bios settings too high and I get the blue screen about the system being unstable.
Most blue screens that people get are windows related and most of the time have nothing to do w/ the mobo.
Yes it is very limited when it comes to overclocking but I'm totally satisfied w/ it.
The reason it's inexpensive is because it doesn't come w/ all the bells and whistles that other boards like Asus, Epox and other brands offer.
