    Athlon MP motherboard help

    It's def. an option. I'll check it out futher. I've had issues with my dual proc setup since I built it. I'm kinda sour towards another dual AMD setup. This first one was pure hell to get built up and running 90% proper. I'd like to go with a single just so it's an easy rebuild and easy wire...

    I'm looking for a dual processor AMD motherboard. My system is going to be a workstation system doing lots of video and sound editing. I tried the Asus A7M266-D, and A7M266-DL motherboards. The first one didn't support processors past MP 1900+, and the second one had a bad ide controller. So...

    How stable is BIOS 1007 on an A7M266?

    I don't update my bios unless the new version has some good bug fixes on it, or if I have a problem. If I have a problem I update anything that can be updated. Before you buy the new AMD processor just make sure your motherboard can support it. I just went through some of that BS recently.

    I have an Allied 400 Watt powersupply. I have been looking into the 500/550 watt Enermax power supply. But my current power supply does have P4 support like the motherboard requires. I think the powersupply may cause issues. I have noticed my Seagate drive power down once or twice, but it's...
