I've been having problem with my system for a while now. I bought it in last May, and for the first two months everything was running fine. Then out of nowhere, it started crashing. The computer will simply reboot, just as if I'd pressed on the reset switch. Sometimes it will give me a blue...

I'm having the same problem with my new NForce2 system. Once I run the network wizard it all comes back, but I find the prospect of running this everytime I boot not very appealing. I am also experiencing an abnormally long delay when I shut down. I just did a clean install on this box with all...

IDE RAID is the only feature missing. Get a PCI IDE controller if that's a problem to you, it's not very expensive and it will probably be your only PCI card since everything else is integrated. (unless you have a 56k modem)

NForce2 that's for sure. And since you're interested in overclocking, I agree that EpoX would seem the right choice. It also has a fair price which is always a good thing.

I got another question here, what's the point of putting DDR400 if you have to run it in synchronous mode at 333 mhz to get better performance?

I want more info on this mobo, I might buy it. Also, can anyone explain me what's the deal with the Twin Bank memory thing. Do I need to have two memory modules to take advantage of that ?

My friend just bought a couple of pieces to upgrade his pc and he's selling his old parts to his parents. Now he bought them a GeForce4 MX, but he could keep it for himself and give them his older GeForce2 GTS. Also, I have to mention that his brand new mobo and the geforce4 are both from MSI...

HardOCP is a pretty decent website IMO. I also agree with them about the A7V266-E, it's a great board. However, I don't think the performance is significant enough to say it's better than the KR7. I believe that when you're considering buying boards with the same chipset, the features are what's...

I have an A7V266-E and a GF3, runs great. 1600*1200*32bpp on my 21" is a thing of beauty. I just finished RTCW and Ghost Recon, both game did not EVER crash. I've had UT crash on me once, but that's about it. I had a KT7-RAID before getting the A7V and I was unable to install WinXP with the...

I managed to get my A7V266-E for a fair price and it's running like a taliban! ;) Very stable, great performance. I just love it :D

Is anyone having any kind of problem with the board? I mean every other mb thread was populated with DOA tales, but so far I haven't read one negative comment on this board! Mine is by far the most stable board I've had, I couldn't say that of my KT7-RAID. This might be the "King of the KT266A" :D

Well I did install the HSF before putting it in the case, but you still need to apply a lot of pressure to clip it and that always makes me nervous. As for the OS, WinXP is the way to go, the stability surely makes up for the performance, unless you have to pay for it! ;)

My only problem right now is that most of my friends are asleep so I can't brag about it ;)

Ok I've just installed WinXP, the whole thing went without a hitch. This is one nice mobo I tell ya that! :D bluesky - I thought I'd be getting NIC on board, but it's not there. It doesn't turn out so bad for me, now I won't have to carve a hole in my case for the connector ! :Q Make sure to...

Well I just got my board and I'm about to install it, let's just hope I don't "chip" my 1800+! ;) *** UPDATE *** Everything is set to go, I have a class to attend so I'll plug it later tonight for her first ride... Now if I can just locate that damn WinXP cd... :|
