    Epox EP-8K7A or IWill KK266 ? help me choose one to buy...

    Epox 8K7A Just put one together. No kinks. No problems. And its faster then the KT133A chipset. My benches are about 8% higher then a friend who got the KT133A mobo with SDRAM. DDR isnt more expensive anymore, and it does outperform SDRAM even if it is by a fairly small margin. But the price...

    To be honest, if i didnt have to buy another floppy (since im building a second system from my old parts) I would just take the faceplate off a beige floppy and spraypaint it black..no joke. Just remove the faceplate, bring it outside, put it on some old newspaper and spraypaint it black. Let it...

    Black faceplates? Naw....black spraypaint dont cost much :) A black floppy is the same price as standard floppies...and I gotta get a floppy anyway. CD Rom drive im just gonna run my HP8100i as my main CD ROM and Burner. Its a darkish grey, so it wont clash anywhere near as bad as beige.
