Hi,
    I had a particular motherboard recommended and available locally.
I am upgrading and have gotten a great deal from someone I know on
an Athlon XP 1700+.  Sure faster would be nice but I'm trying to do
too much on my Athlon 750Mhz system which is one or two generations
older.  So, this motherboard was recommended by a local computer
dealer ECS L7VTA VIA KT400 Chipset ATX AMD

It's not listed on AMD's website.  It does seem to support this CPU and
up to 2700+.  It supports AGP 8X and has USB 2.0 which is what I wanted.
Is this new and thus not listed on AMD's web site?  Anyone have any
other recommendations to look for in a motherboard?  What's the difference
between DDR2700 and DDR2100, specifically?  I do want to be
able to have the option of cpu upgrades in the future.
Bruce
