Pros;

Cons;

old AMD 761 chipset
This is the "mistake" version of the motherboard, the Asus A7M66 is the fixed one.
VIA Southbridge, AMD Northbridge

The reason it's so cheap is probably because it won't boot. :-)

If you absolutely must have a cheap 761 board, go for an Epox.

actually, i thought it was the ALI M1647 Chipset, at least according to http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7a266/overview.htm

the reason im asking is because it still lists for 120 at newegg and this chick wats 50 bux for it.

I know someone who has that board and they werent satisfied with it at first. I think they are OK with it now though...
