Hi Group
I have a K7S5A board with a Athlon 1600+ CPU which has always worked like a
charm.
But recently I got a AGP MSI GeForce 4 with video-in capture feature. The

Want to Flash the BIOs on my K7S5A either with an Official update or a
HoneyX update.
Want a backup of my BIOs before I try this.  Will any of the BIOs updates
offer you the option to backup your BIOs prior to processing?

I'm very irritated cause of this motherboard!
It crash every 1-4hours!
1) was the third ram-stick that with the radeon it crashed my sistem
in 2-10 minutes

I recently purchase this motherboard.
Because I killed my Duron 850, I must change it.
The features report a compatibility up to Duron 1.3.
However the Duron 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 have same FSB (266).

Here are my system specs:
K7S5A Pro MoBo
Athlon XP 1500+ Processor
Kingston 266/512Megs Pc2100 DDR (Coming in the mail)

the K7S5A PRO 5,0 should have the USB 2,0 ports in the ATX panel. If I plug
in there my external hard disk drive, I get the message that a high-speed
equipment is connected to a not high-speed port. What's wrong?

What is the maximum capacity for a harddrive with the K7S5A.
Is it 120Gb or will a 200Gb also work full size.

mein K7SA5 sagt immer beim hochfahren, dass ich Einstellungen
durcheinander sind. Ich muss dann f2 drücken und dann geht es weiter.
Aber statt einem AMD 2000+ habe ich plötzlich nur einen 1250er????
Was ist denn das?

Some time ago I bought a cheapo mainboard, an ECS L7S7A2 rev.1.1
I use Windows98se.
In the pci-slots there are only a graphics card and -in the slot the
farthest away form the graphcard- a Realtek NIC.

I'm looking for an inexpensive board that supports the barton core XP CPU,
would like to have the ability to overclock it. Is there such an animal?
TIA

I need help with thruput on my 4 computer LAN.  
I just bought a 10/100mhz router and the K7S5A Pro with 2200 athlon.
I expected my LAN transfers would really fly with the router replacing
a 10mhz hub.  Not so.

I don't know how Fry's can sell this as a combo, since that assumes the MB
and processor are compatible.
Bartons run at 166 FSB and the K7VTA3 will only run at 166 MHz if the PCI is
out of spec at 42 MHz. This MB only has a /4 divisor as far as I can tell,

I've got a P6STM motherboard and I am quite happy with it so far. It was
very cheap, but did not include the I/O template. Does anybody have and idea
where I can get one? Or do you have a measured diagram of one?
TIA,
