MSI K7T266pro and the upcomming "a" version......

[1poeboy]

Just curious. Has anyone contacted their MB manufacture to see if they could get the current board replaced with the new revision? I just got this board recently (the MSI one) and would like to have known there would be a newer and much better version and waited for it. Chances are they won't do this but thought it would be worth asking you guys about it.

I have the same board, and am going to call MSI on Thursday and ask them to replace my board. I bought mine in July and can't seem to keep it going for more than a couple of weeks and even sometimes days without something going haywire. Installed new BIOS this week so we'll see, and disabled the RAID, I think thats been the problem all along is the raid drivers. I kept getting stop errors at startup when using the raid. The system would work fine for a while(couple of days or weeks) and then when you would not start up. Format and start over. New install as of 9/8 , lets see how long this one last. Oh yea I did install the new raid drivers from MSI and it made the problem worse.

Have you had any problems with your board?

its unlikely that they will change the mobo with new chipset.

the new chipset kt266a will get a new mobo and a new name.

therefore, they probably wont' exchange the mobo since they both are different products.
