I wish to replace this venerable Asus m/b with a Socket A replacement &
want to reuse my XP1800+ CPU & Crucial 2x256MB 2100 RAM at least for the
time being. The question is - with what?

S3 standby under WinXP must work as it does with my current m/b (waking
from S3 USB mouse not critical as I'm happy to carry on using the PS/2
port) & Firewire isn't a current requirement. If I'm to stick to the
devil I know, the A7N8X-E is overkill on price but would prefer the
option of SATA which counts out the lesser spec'd variants, this seems
to point to the well priced VIA A7V600-X. Possible alternatives to Asus
seem to be MSI. Anyone got any thoughts on a suitable replacement?

Thanks for that but the NF7-S2G lacks a horrid little NB fan & appears
to be cheaper. I'm reading up on the Asus A7V880 as well.

As I've been finding out from threads on the Abit group :) I could
always prise off my Zalman NB hs & fit it on a NF7-S 2.0 as it glues on.
Forgot I'd removed the NB fan/hs & for the amount of heat generated, I
could have saved myself the effort 'cos I could just removed the fan
header for adequate cooling. The Abit may be a different matter of
course.
