Asus A7V-133 Question!

[The_Lurker]

Hey.. i was wondering what's the difference between the Asus A7V-133 and the Asus A7V-133 C.. i can't seem to find any differences.

Also, i'm thining of getting a 1.1ghz Morgan Duron and i need a mobo to go w/ it. Im' thinking of either the A7V-133 but i need Raid so i'm thinking of getting the MSI KT7-Turbo Limited Edition with raid. They're about the same price, so i'm kinda split. On one hand, one has RAID (i can't find the A7V-133 up here locally w/ raid) but on the other hand, i've always used Asus and like their BIOS (hate the Abit bios) and know their board is good quality. Any thoughts appreciated!

Btw: Do these boards run the new Athlong XP's? Some say they do, some say they dont, i'm confused @@

Yes, the A7V133 will work with AthlonXPs, the BIOS released early this month added the support. I highly recommend it, I've had one for months and it's rock solid. It's also quite cheap for the quality you get.

If you cant get a raid enabled A7V133 locally, try www.newgegg.com They have awesome prices and really fast shipping.

A7V133-C is without sound and raid.

A7V133/A7V133C run XP fine. When buying, check the rev no. U need the rev 1.05. (note the trailing dot) to run XP stable using []bjumperfree mode[/b]. Rev 1.04 to 1.05 (note no trailing dot) run XP fine in jumper mode only. Stability seems to compromise under jumperfree mode on these mobo (1.04-1.05).
