        I for one partially agree with you. The A7A266 isn't a bad board, but it
certainly is held back on perforance (and in a few minor ways stability)
because of the ALi chipset. I myself went for the A7M266 board, based on the
AMD760. The problem though is that that chipset is in very short supply and
finding boards based on it is becoming more and more dificult. If you can
find the A7M go for it, I love it, rock stable and very fast, if not then go
for the A7A. It may not be based on the best chipset on the market but it is
an Asus, and that alone says alot in my opinion. TTYL
