Just to update . . .

I recieved the Abit KG7 Lite mobo by FedEx yesterday. The chipset is the 
AMD761 northbridge and VIA VT82C686B southbridge.

Mandrake 8.1 gets along fine with it; I'm using a 1.4G AMD Thunderbird and 
.75GB RAM. Price: US$ 120.

The clockchip-impaired ASUS A7A266 is now relegated to Windows98 service 
since Windows likes it just fine.
