Any opinions or review of this board?

Gigabyte GA-7NF-RZ (ebay for about £30)

Perhaps there is something better? I need a new socket A motherboard to take
my existing equipment - athlonXP 2500+ with 3x PC2700 DDR memory modules
(1x1GB + 2x512MB). I don't want to spend more than about £30, ideally nearer
£20. I would like new, but thought it might be cheap as this is all old
technology now!

There's a warehouse shop in Watford that are selling the Foxconn
K7S741GXMG-6L for £23. I don't know how good they are, but we got one for a
office PC and it works fine, with onboard graphics, ethernet and sound.
Only three PCI slots though.

Given that AMD are still selling socket A Semprons, it's not quite
*obsolete* yet. However, I do sympathise with you on the price of
socket A motherboards. I would have liked to have seen the NF7-S v2.0 a
bit cheaper, as you can still buy the XP-M.

I take it you are looking to buy this GA-7NF-RZ:

accessories, which suggests it might not have them.

I'd prefer this Soltek SL-75MRN-L instead: http://tinyurl.com/bs2kv
