Abit KG7-RAID, GeForce3, and RAM

[MadCowFatScouser]

Yo all.

Does anyone know whether it is physically impossible to fit these three in bed together? At pchardware.ro, the reviewer says he has a problem inserting memory into DIMM slots 1 and 2 of an Abit KG7 motherboard, when a GeForce3 card is also in place.

I find it hard to believe Abit would make this blunder, but before I part with my dosh ...

Many thanks in advance

I understand your concern. What they mean is that the end of the videocard is very close, physically, to the left lever of the rear DIMM slot. You cannot open the little while lever to insert/remove a stick of ram w/the AGP card in there. You have to remove the card. It's the same way on my Abit KT7 mobo. No biggie. Takes 5 seconds to remove the card, 5 seconds to put ram in, 5 seconds to reinstall the card. It's kind of like having to take out the pots and pans in the front of the cabinet in order to reach the ones in the back!

MichaelD yep it sure is like having to take out the pots and pans in the front of the cabinet in order to reach the ones in the back! I hate when you have to do that. But when you dont have all the room in the world to put everything in the front then you cant do it. It doesnt take much time at all like you said.

Thanks man: that's one less reason not to blow the dust off my credit card... :frown:
