    Which 266-A Raid mobo's allow using the RAID ports for extra IDE?

    The Asus A7v266-E has a jumper to set the extra ports to non-raid mode. I have had my hard drive running on the Promise controller in non-raid mode with no problems. Somebody had claimed that you could not use the Promise connections on this board for CD-ROM or CD-RW, but right now I have my...

    The unofficial "Official A7V266-E Thread" !

    KevinC, This worked for me. Go to the Power section of the BIOS. Change "CPU Thermal Option" from throttle to shutdown.

    Which of these would you get: Asus A7V266-E, Epox 8KHA+, or the Abit KR7A-RAID?

    Motherboard now or wait?

    Hey msb2ncsu, I agree with Kingofcomputer. There will always be new stuff coming out. I have been playing this game for the last month and a-half. I was ready to put my system together about 6 weeks ago. But with all the new mobos that have been coming out lately I kept waiting for the next...
