Asus A7M266 Review

Wow... you're really doing it, you're the first to post every KT133A review, now the 760 review. I saw that over at VIAHardware.com, definitely a good review, its already available in Japan, when are they going to hit the other side of the pacifics?

Well, it seems Asus mysteriously dropped multiplier adjustments.. That most likely means you need a 266mhz FSB Athlon to use PC2100 DDR right? I believe the 760 does not support running the memory and FSB asynchronously so you would be stuck with PC1600 with a 200mhz FSB Athlon. I find the "iPanel" to be interesting though...ala Live Drive...

My thoughts exactly

NFS: I have been saying that for over a year...and every time someone says, why the hell would you want more than 5? Well damn it, is it really so much to ask to ditch the stupid AMR slot no one used for a 6th PCI...or at the very least put the AMR below the AGP so our oversized AGP fans don't block on of our PCI slots leaving us with 4.... grrrr :|:|:|:|:|

Exactly, I'm using 5 PCI slots right now on my KA7 and who knows if I'll use the 6th or not...but I'd rather have it than not have it
