My Asus A7M266 had to be returned do to the fans being shorted out. Not supposedly i have to wait 2 weeks for them to come in stock. Is it worth it to go for the MSI K7 Master? Is the AMD761 and upgrade from the AMD760 or is it completely different? Thanks.

the A7M266 has the 761 northbridge...the two boards are basically identical ecept that the K7 master can adjust the multiplier in the bios where as the A7M can only adjust the fsb

you CANNOT adjust the FSB in 1Mhz increments on the K7 Master though which a major bummer since it goes from something like 133hmz to 140 to 143 and then 150. What kind of adjustment is that?
