Its not much use installing PC2700 (333) memory with a 266 CPU. (correct me if i'm wrong guy's). And on the other hand, it isn't that much faster after all. I went from a XP1500+ on a MSI KT266a mainboard to a nForce (Nvidia) Leadtek K7NCR18G pro board with a XP2200+. Shouldn't have doen it really, don't notice any difference-))) About the ECS. I used the ECS K7VTA3CL with the KT333 chipset ( can go up to 3000 Mhz) to build about 5/6 pc's so far, and they all run like a train,,,no problems what so ever., I'm not familiar with the board you listed, but i'm sure it will be fine.
