hi,
I have an athlon xp1900+ on an ASUS A7A-266/E MB which is ATA-133 ready and my os is Xp home editon. I upgraded from an athlon 1200mhz on an ASUS A7A-266(old one but good). here are some specs for A7A-266/E:
chipset ALI MAGIK 1 chipset (M1647 north bridge with M1535D+ southbridge)
266/200 mhz fsb
2x ddr dimm sockets (max 2gig pc2100/pc1600 ddr sdram)
3x sdram dimm sockets(max 3gig pc133 sdram)
1x agp pro/agp 4x
5 x pci
1x amr
2x ultra dma/133/100/66 ide ports
Dude go for an ASUS MB they are absolutely flawless. I have not once had a problem with the AlI chipset which is used on the A7A series:D
If you want more power and less funcions than ASUS (who needs integrated firewire and 6 channel sound? :)) you should go for either a Gigabyte 7VRXP or a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU.
