Abit NV7-133R?

[CrazySaint]

I'm thinking about buying the Abit NV7-133R because it has some really nice features at a good price.
But I wanted to know if any of you had any comments about it first. I plan on putting a Athlon XP 1800+
in it, and I don't intend to do any overclocking.

CrazySaint ,well all went fine with the setup of the board, the onboard sound seems fine so far and the lan works great for my cable connection. I have some adjustments to do in the bios to get the rest of my drives working all on there own ide's. I have installed the latest offical drivers for my radeon and ran windows update. Its was interesting that during setup it said one of the drivers were not certified but the win update did download one newer driver from nvidia which might have been the it. I hope this helps you decide and if you have any questions post and I'll do my best to answer. UT runs great ,I'll be installing 3d mark soon as well as a few other games and I'll let you know how they work if you like.

How is the gaming sound (A3D, DirectSound, EAX, etc)? And how are those games running? Have you experienced any problems with it so far?

Jedi night is running great, my 3d mark went up about 500 points over my old msi k7t266pro, and I have not messed with the sound yet , but I will. Zero lock ups !
