Anybody have one of those new mobos based on the Sis735 chipset?

I've read the reviews, and all, and it seems pretty good.
Anybody have first hand experience. The only board I know of that's using the chipset is the ECS:K7S5A
Any thoughts?

yeah, I went ahead and ordered one from axion tech. it was $63 plus shipping, so i suppose it's gonna be about the same as you got yours. thanks for the input...

Careful flashing the bios on that thing... greg told me yesterday he fried the bios cause the flashing proggy sucks.

yeah,
I've heard some horror stories about them coming with jumpers in the wrong places, and all kinds of weirdness... i guess that's what you get when you buy something when it's "bleeding-edge" (I use that term extreamly loosely!) Anyway, thanks for the update...

I've put three of these in machines now and flashed every one of them without problems. You should be using this version of amiflash...

The latest bios fixed some hardware conflict issues for me and added the new FSB/PCI speeds. It's also supposed to improve performance but I have yet to notice any difference.
