I looked back through the last 6 months of postings and didn't see 
anyone asking a question about cheap boards, so I thought I'd ask...

Having just returned a motherboard with the SiS 746/963 chipset which I 
could not get to work at all (even with the latest SiS patches from 
Manuel, which were much appreciated), I'm looking for a replacement.

My only requirements (mostly because these are the components I bought 
to go with the other motherboard):
  - Takes Athlon 2100 XP+ processor
  - Takes PC2700 DDR RAM
  - 2 IDE channels (two HD's and a CD-ROM)
  - 10/100 ethernet
  - USB would be nice, but not mandatory.
  - Cost less than $80...

I was looking at a ECS L7VTA using the VIA KT400 chipset ($66 from 
newegg.com), but I saw a posting back in December from someone having 
IDE troubles with a different KT400 based board, so I'm not feeling 
good about that.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave
