I'm currently using a K7S5A PRO with latest Honey X bios
AMD XP 2000 (1667/133, A 6-8-0)
two 256MB PC2700 (Muskin basic).
Will only overclock to 137/137 stable

I'm thinking of replacing my motherboard with an ECS L7S7A2, price may only
be about $20-$25.
Can I run the memory at 166mhz, while CPU uses 133mhz bus speed ?
What is the max speed CPU upgrade I can use on the L7S7A2 ?
Any good or negative comments about the L7S7A2 ?
Any good support web pages ?

I've bought several L7S7A2 boards (as part of Fry's mobo specials here in
Dallas). Haven't had any trouble with them. One is running an XP2700 and
the other an XP2800, both 333mhz chips. Also running PC2700 memory
at 333. My experience has been that it's a good BASIC board.
