Anyone found info on the ASROCK K7VT2 ? They've been out for for a couple of months but haven't seen any review or even downloadable manual from the ASUS site.

In particualar, I'm looking for BIOS info / settings - is this sucker overclockable ?

Got a AMD 1600+ just waiting for a dual memory solution board (was just about to order an ECS).

Here the tech I've found so far:



Specifications:

Main Chipset

VIA KT266A (Northbridge) and VIA8235 (Southbridge)
Supports AMD Duron, Athlon, AthlonXP CPUs
Supports 266MHz Front-Side Bus speeds
Socket 462 motherboard

* Do not try to install a Socket 370/423 processor in the Socket-462. A Socket 370 processor such as the Pentium III, or Celeron, does not fit in the Socket 462.

Memory Support
2 DDR DIMM sockets and 2 DIMM sockets support (CAN NOT be used at the same time)
Two 184-pin 2.5V DDR* (Double Date Rate) SDRAM DDR266 (PC2100)/DDR333 (PC2700)or
Two 168-pin 3.3V SDRAM (PC133/PC100)
Maximum installed memory is 2GB

* DDR SDRAM provides 800MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and 2.1 GBps by transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs used by SDRAM.

I'm not sure about overclockability, but the PDF is here. Well, and their site is http://www.asrock.com/. From what I have seen there is a 100/133 MHz jumper and in the BIOS there is CPU and RAM speed selection. Have not seen any voltage adjustments.

However, they are a spin-off from ASUS, not ASUS.

thx for the pdf and Asrock URL.

Looks like the votage is not selectable from the bios. I've sent an email to Asrock tech support on this, but don't really expect a response - at least not in english :)
