NE1 had luck with Biostar M7NCD PRO?

This mobo(just $57.00) seems nearly a clone of Asus A7N8X. Anybody had
good experience w/this mobo? Bad experience? I've got an XP2100+ T'bred to
install.
What inexpensive ram will do it justice? What I read tells me to buy
DDR400--PC3200. But brand? Cas rating? Always used Crucial in the past,
but all they've got is CL-3 in the 3200/400 flavor--will that be sufficient?
Thanks for any and all help. I Plan to overclock, not extremely, but
better than I got out of my now sold ECS K7S5A using Crucial PC 2100.

Crucial is still a good choice, and a bargain. Because their ratings are
very conservative, you should be able to run it at CAS 2.5, and it will
overclock reasonably well. There are some reviews at www.amdboard.com in the
PC3200 section that you will find interesting.

great board.

I run my Barton 2500+ at 12.5 multiplier (=> 2800+).
Using PC2100 2.5 RAM sticks at stock speed. I've used 256 Kbyte, 256
Kingston Value Ram, 512 Crucial, and 128 Crucial in all combinations
with no problems.
