FYI

Looks like now there will be tough decisions to make if you want a DDR board. Asus, Abit, or Epox??

I believe the A7M266 had 2 SDR Mem slots and 2 DDR mem slots. Apparently is was a poor seller, so this is a new design with DDR support only.

i believe you're mistaken =D. The a7m266 is a ddr only board with 2 ddr slots (and has gotten good reviews). the a7a266 has 3 pc133 slots and 2 ddr slots. I have heard that this board isnt that good and that the a7m offers better performance.

Thanks for the info. I guess the difference between A7M266 and the A7V266 is the chipset. A7M uses AMD761 and the A7V uses KT266.
