It would help if you specified which PC Chips mb, but as long as the mb has
a FSB of 200 mhz it should be fine. I've used the VIA KT266A on a couple of
builds without a problem, with the exception of an ECS mb (K7S5A), which has
been the only one I dumped into the trash can. That was a rotten mb.
 
mmmm looks like you your sending this question in the future, lol

ok looks like you got ur dates on ya computer set wrong
 
hello, I am using a PC Chip mobo. they are not the best mobo but they
work. I started in 2002 with a homebuilt M830 series using a AMD 2100+
CPU and 256 meg RAM with 80 gig HD. Everything worked fine till last
year 2005. Something went bad on the mobo and once this happens you
throw away the mobo and get a new one. this is what I did. Bought a
new mobo from newegg which turn out to be a M848A series. First board
was defective and sent for replacement. got new mobo and installed and
everything is excellent.computer is fast and I am going to install
another 256 meg of ram bringing it up to 512 megs. just my .02 good
luck Norm

I've built a couple of systems with this board and never had any problems.
If you get a PCChips board that works right out of the box, it should give
you years of dependable service. Granted, they're nothing fancy, but they'll
do the job for basic stuff.
 
I have an old Duron 700MHz chip lying around and a friend needs a
computer; nothing demanding at all, just email etc. Does this board work
with this old processor? Is this MB/chipsets relatively bug free?

OT, when I first moved from P2 to AMD K6 (Duron/Athlon), I was bugged by
VIA (I don't remember the chip model) infamous file (IDE) corruption bug
and crackling sound from ALi MAGiK 1's slow interconnection between
north and south bridge (using just plain PCI). I only trust SiS solution
but I don't want to spend more money in this build if I can avoid it.
