I bought a motherboard from eBay in January. The company that sold it gave me an identical looking PcChips (M694) instead of the ECS P6VXA that I bought.
I discovered I had the wrong one when trying to install an ATA100 hard drive. The M694 only supports ATA66.
I found out that the company has been selling these for a while now and after a phone call, they claim ECS gave them the wrong ones.
I have been offered a refund if I send the board back, a $10 credit if I keep it, or they will replace it with a different one if I want an exchange. I bought the board for $51.
I am thinking of exchanging it. I have a PIII 1.0 GHz and 2x256MB RAM.
The exchange they offered is for a 'PcChips M790-mr' board:

It is dual processor, which I doubt I would use, but it is ATA100.
Anyone have any suggestions, or perhaps feedback on either motherboard? Again I currently have the PcChips M694 and am contemplating the M790-mr. I am happy with my current board except for the ATA100 problem.
