upgraded once..

300a/Abit BX6-2 --> duron650/Abit KT7-RAID

I know a few of you dont like abit, but i've had 0 problems with my boards, and they're SO tweakable, you gotta love em :)

BTW I'm still testing w/ my Duron, but it's running at 900 @ 1.8v stable right now.
Lemme tell you that the golden orb is cheap, but a sh*tty performing HSF ...

Does anyone know of a Peltier 'kit' (with HSF) for a socket A chip?
thanks!

June 99 got a Asus p5a.

February 2000 got a Gigabyte 7IXE, made a new PC out of the p5a and old parts

Last week got a MSI k7t and made a new PC out of the 7IXE (to replace the p5a).

3, and hopefully last upgrades.

1 - Abit BE6 (Argh, Highpoint controller! :p )
2 - MSI 6163Pro
3 - MSI 6309 (Used with P3 500E)
4 - MSI K7T Pro (Swapped it with Asus A7V to be able to change the multiplier)
5 - Asus A7V

I liked the MSI 6309 the most! It ran my P3 500E @ 735Mhz like a champ! And the
board was super stable!

Still waiting for the little probs to be sorted out with the Asus A7V before it
comes in my good books! ;)
