I know I am probably driving everyone crazy on these motherboard issues, The technician was suppose to order me a CPU for my motherboard, but today I received this other motherboard with the processor on it? I just want to make sure its as good as the one I have now.. By the way this is the 2nd motherboard they shipped to me. This is the one I have now..GA-7VM400M-RZ http://store.yahoo.com/saveateaglestore/mb-rz7vm40.html No CPU included this one has my CPU on it, its a 2600. This is the one they sent me today, now this one includes a CPU where the otherone does not. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/saveateaglestore/741gx-m-w-xp2800-.html

I know is you were buying one you would get better but this is a Insurance replacement so I have to take one of these......

Boards based on SiS chipsets suck...the VIA KM400 based board is much better. R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero "Viva La Raza"

I don't know I think VIA can suck too.

IMHO - Sorry, SIS chipsets may be a little slower at times and not as feature-rich, but they are certainly more reliable than VIA's. Search Engines Are Your Friends Morpheus: There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. "The Matrix"
