This week Socket-A price drops are fewer with the most price drops going to KT133A and our DDR list of motherboards. KT133 boards have stabilized in price and some have even taken a slight price hike. Note that we've added two more KT133E motherboards to the list, the ABIT KT7E and the EPoX 8KTA2L, which offer support for the higher-MHz Athlon and Durons and actually run cheaper than their KT133 predecessors.

KT133A boards on the other hand continue their fall in price making these boards even more affordable if you're looking for some bang for your buck when it comes to computing power.

Unlike weeks past, Socket-A DDR boards have fallen much more this week with price drops in the range of $2 to $16. We've also added the Tyan Thunder K7 DDR 760MP motherboard to the list which is a hands down awesome server motherboard. Though it runs for very high price, we applaud it's performance, stability, and overall quality thus it earns our recommendation.
