the k7s5a board also supports pc133 sdram
it is a decent board to up grade with becuase you can still use your old ram

me again,
i picked up the xp2100 last weekend with the pro board and picked up the xp200 with the same today
i consider it a decent deal becuase it does not have the manufactors mail in rebate

Yesterday I was at City of Industry's Fry's looking for some RAM and CDRs.

I noticed the stack of K7S5A Pro boards they had were all "returns" with those white return stickers on top. When I bought the $99 XP2100+K7S5A Pro combo last week, the board was NOT a returned item. I hope they aren't trying to screw their costumers...

You might want to watch out for returned/refurb K7S5A Pro boards THIS time around or the next few times to come.

To spot a returned item, look for a white sticker that has a handwritten date and a signature on it. The sticker should say something about the item being once opened or returned, and that it has the same warranty as a "new" item.

It could be just City of Industry's store, though...

They do that here in las vegas also.

CDRW Drives

wow thanx for the heads up on that!!

I've never shopped fry's before so this is going to be my first trip to their store hopefully I don't spend a fortune..lol

I'm just thinking about getting it for the cpu and maybe use the board for a few till I can get another one or just sale the board and hold onto the cpu? gettin an xp2000 for $50-60 would be nice

No, this is actually at all the Fry's. I work for one of Fry's competitors and frequently check their stores to see if they've undercut us. I work out in City of Industry, actually, but have seen Fry's near Burbank and also Anaheim (off of the 91 freeway, Tustin Ave.)

I was actually talking about that particular combo deal, whether the board included is refurb-only this time.

I just found it strange that all of the ECS boards in the stack were refurbs...
