Wow... my K7S5A runs great. No stability issues, performance is great. A few weird things though.
1) With 3dmark 2k1, i get 300 points less than with my P3 900 and Asus P3B-F (3000 to 2600) Yet, my Q3 benchies are great, and the system "feels" faster.
2) Whenever i updated to the 1.08d AGP drivers, i can't complete 3dMark 2k1, it crashes on RCTW, but can run Q3 indefinately (but sometimes it'd lock up)... hmm... weird? BUT CS can run for hours no problem.
3) When i update to the new BIOS, i get errors in Prime 95 on the first strand and i get errors all over the place.
Now.. it runs great w/o any patches and the 011121 BIOS. Any ideas why?
Damn i miss Intel board stability 🙁
