Hi, I'm thinking to purchase xess fpga board (XSA and XST-2). I don't know I should buy which one. All XSA boards have almost same features. What do you think about it? Thanks to all

From a price standpoint, you only have two choices to consider:
XSA-200 @ $149: 200K-gate FPGA, 32 MByte SDRAM, 2MByte Flash, 9-bit VGA XSA-3S1000 @ $199: 1M-gate FPGA, 32 MByte SDRAM, 2MByte Flash, 9-bit VGA
The XSA-200 uses a Spartan2 FPGA that is 5V-tolerant and so this board is compatible with the XST-2. The 3S1000 uses a Spartan3 FPGA that is NOT 5V- tolerant, so you will have to wait for the new XST-3.0 Board in 2005.

I would go with 3S1000!
the S200 is just enough for Microblaze SoC and too small for GPL Sparc SoC, sure the 3S IO's are not 5v tolerant any more so care should be taken if connecting to 5V peripherals
