Any comments on a Biostar M7VKB

My wife has this mobo in her computer. It's nothing amazing, not the best performer or anything but it has been reasonably stable and trouble free. I got it because she needed an ISA slot and it was the only cheap socket a that came out in the first month or two with one. No regrets about the purchase. But if you're looking for max fps, look elsewhere.

aron.
 
i agree
bio-star boards are good boards, fpr "normal" 🙂 users
but if you want to overclock, or if you want the best performance in games
bio-star is not for you
i know, because i own a biostar board (m7mke..slotA)
 
I have biostar m7mke (KX133), slot A board. Had some stability problem, presumably with TNT2 video card. Installed new bios and it's working now. But the new bios was not immediately available when I purchased the mobo.

During the trouble shooting process, I noticed these:

1) They do not update bios as often as Epox (the other computer I have).
2) The new bios does not provide as many optimizing options as my Epox bios. (same Award version)

I am not recommending for or against bios. Just an observation I noticed. And I do not know if this general observation also applies to the board you mentioned.

 
I have a 1GHz Tbird running on this board right now ... it seems rock solid, nothing fancy ... relatively inexpensive. It is not an overclocker's motherboard.

 
Thanks for the info!!
I think for ~$60 more I will be better off with a MSI K7T Pro 2 m/b.

One more question - does anyone know when the K7T Turbo will be released?? Thanks!
