(It is supposed to support DDR too, but I have not tried it.) A bit pricey for a m.b., but it works. FWIW, it uses the ALi M1647 north and ALi M1535D+ south. The kernel mis-recognizes the latter as a ALI15X3, but it still works. And since we're on the subject (again), I'll mention (again) that I have a couple of bogo-howtos for this board at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/bdbryant/howtos/hardware/asus-a7a266/. Good luck, Bobby Bryant Austin, Texas p.s. - Browse the archives carefully before buying any Athlon m.b. with a VIA chipset.
