I know this has been mentioned before but 125 + Free shipping is a sweet deal for the best kt133a board on the market(IMHO)

Big problem with this board, for me at least, is the lack of RAID 0+1 capability. You only get RAID 1 or RAID 0.

they should be able to fix this with a bios upgrade. make a big stink to cust spt, start a new thread over in the mobo forum and get a bunch of others to do the same ...

Warning, this board is not easy to use. There are mutliplier issues in that they do not stay consistent and change. Similar to Epox, Iwill, and some other boards. Those who do not want to go through the pain of figuring out the problems stick with abit and asus boards. Maybe in the future the multiplier issues will be fixed in a bios update, but for now, they are an annoying problem.

Heh, I haven't had a problem with this board either. As far as the Raid issue goes, that's nothing you can scream about, they never advertised that it can do both...should be a known fact. BTW, if you're using both 0+1, then make the jump to SCSI dude, cause IDE raid does jack anyways.

Air James- What multiplier problem did you have? I didn't play around too much with it to really explore that aspect of the board (built for a non-overclocking frined...bah). LMK since I'm ready to get another board but it seems like EVERY single kt133A board has one issue or another.

ASUS only does RAID0 ...

As for K7T Turbo, couple of long threads in mobo will describe the problems. basically, once you oc the fsb to 133, you lose access to all the lower multipliers;-(( Also, some of the multipliers don't work properly, they map to others.

So long as you set the multiplier down low before shutting down and resetting fsb, you should be ok.

search on k7t turbo in the mobo forum. threads started mid-feb thru early march ...
