Iwill KA266-R questions:

[nippyjun]

1. What heatsink/fan combo fits easily and works well? I am considering the FOP32-1 or the FOP38-1. Any thoughts about these?
2. Which jumber settintg 100 or 133 should I use first with a 1.2 athlon (200) that I can overclock to 1.4 (It's a pretested chip. Would starting at the default 12x100 (100 setting) be advised, then switch to 133x9 (133 setting) and slowly increase the FSB from there.
3. How's the built in sound? Should I dump my soundblaster live card?
4. Are there 4 usb ports?

Thanks.

I have the huge Taisol CGL742092 and it fits.

Start at 9 x 133 and go from there. As you have the cpu out I will advise to connect all L7 bridges now (or connect those that are not).
3. How's the built in sound? Should I dump my soundblaster live card? - Are u nuts?
4. Are there 4 usb ports - 2 built in and also on the board but U have to get the USB cable.

Thats a big yes. The KA-266 is a very good Board.

Do you guys know how to set up the raid. I can figure out how to set up the bios, but after that, what's an easy way to format the drives and partition them?

I'm puting my system together and going to use a Artic Cooler. I read several comparision tests and they were right up there with the best + they look cool.
