I don't see alot of people that are running Athlon XP's w/ the K7S5A mobo. I know the Athlon XP is compatible with it, but does it run ok on it? Anyone running an athlon XP on a K7S5A who can tell me if it runs good & stable?? Here is the system I have pre-ordered:
Athlon XP 1600+
K7S5A Mobo
512mb PC2100 DDR
maxtor 40GB 7200rpm
geforce2 MX200 32mb (I know it sucks, swapping w/ kyro II soon)
aopen 50x cd
Tower w/ 300Watt AMD Approved
Also, Is the 300W enough to hold this system together, i'm assumming it is, since the xp takes less power than the tbird?. No overclocking will be done. Im just wondering if I should upgrade to a better mobo while I have the chance. I know the K7S5A is a cheap mobo, but it worked perfectly fine on my older 1.1ghz t-bird, incredibly stable..... but does it suck with XP's? Any comments would be appreciated, especially from those running an AthlonXP / K7S5A
