Deal is still going on. Get the code by clicking on the picture with the egg. There are 200 left. I'd get one, but I already have an extra socket A board.

I have this mobo and it's rocksolid for OC'ing.
I have a Duron 700 running @ 913 (by CPUid) @ 100FSB. I used AS and a $5 EKL heatsink and it runs quite cool. I also used a Maxtor Ultra-ATA 100 controller (free AR) since this mobo supports only ATA-66. No reboots, freezes, or BSODs.
In order to do this, i had to Flash the BIOS to r3.
After OC'ing, this mobo becomes picky on your AGP Aperture settings.

I actually bought this mobo for $80 a year ago so it's a hot deal if you're not going to the 2GHz++ zone!

Just got mine. I have this board in my main system right now with a 900Mhz T-bird. It's a great board. I think it's time for another server.

Back to GhettoFob's question, which someone also asked in the K7VZM-NL thread: yes, per the thread, new generation Durons will work on a KT133 chipset board. Mmm... 1.0 gigger retail box @ Newegg @ $52... mmm....

I'm in on this deal. Just ordered mine for $45 shipped to Tennessee. I also ordered the following in order to complete the system:

900 Mhz Duron from Newegg w/nifty silver case badge $40 delivered
Enlight 7237 Case w/fan (no PS) from Open Linux $50 delivered

I've got a spare 300w PS, floppy, CD and 2 x 30GB HD's (for Raid). Now all I need is a cheap 15" monitor to complete my ghetto server :D

Thanks for the hot deal!

you are forgetting some very important components:

Random Access Memory and a Video Graphics Array adapter

It would appear that this MB may be OOS. I believe it has been removed from the web site. I ordered one at 12:50 PM Eastern time, and have email conformation of my order...I hope it got through in time...

Got my order yesterday. Put it in last night. Problem with first boot. CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded. I made a thread about it in the general hardware forum, hopefully somone can help so I don't have to return this.

If anyone cares, the one I got was rev 1.02 with UL BIOS.

Try clearing the CMOS using the CCMOS1 discharge jumper. Refer to the user's manual for pin settings.

For anyone using a cpu over 1.2ghz you have to flash the bios. After flashing the bios i got my 1333 to run at 1440 with no problems.

I just put this thing together (believe it or not)... It doesn't boot! Power's up, no boot. Checked all connections. Doh! Have a 1035 antec case, heard that might be shorting out the mobo... KT7RAID & Morgan. Anyone try this combo successfully here?

You probably have a deead board -- any BIOS beeps? I got a DOA board (they sent me an obvious return as a NEW product :|) first, and after a lot of back and forth talking with CompGeeks, I finally received a refurbished one that does work. I had to pay shipping to send back the first one though.:disgust: It's my last time ordering from them! :disgust:
Anyway, my Duron 1 GHz (came in under 5 days from NewEgg:)) works well with this board.
