i'm not really good with computer hardware so can anyone help?

Yes it can .... Probably needs the latest bios flash though for the 13X multiplier.

Yep, it sure can m8.

But as above, go HERE (http://cgi.asus.com.tw/cgi-bin/dl.asp?filename=mb/socka/kt333/a7v333/av33307.zip) to download the latest BIOS update (1007) from Asus.


HTH :)

These are good boards too.

I have two (one with Raid) and havnt had any problems with them.
Im not into overclocking though so cant comment on that angle.

I use mine with 1800XP chips which for the price difference are a far better option than the 2200XP. If I was you Id get an 1800 and put the difference on a good graphics card.

I run GTA3 at full spec in a HIGH resolution and it never misses a frame.
I Use a Asus V8200 Geforce 3 Pure Deluxe GPU

Desticado, do you use a RAID set-up on your board?

I've not tried running a CD/DVD Rom reader from one of the RAID channels on this board yet, from what I know they are not 100% compatible.

Any thoughts on this m8?

BTW, I agree 100% about not wasting money on the top spec chip. Trust me you will not really notice the difference by running an 1800/1900 Athlon XP+. ;)
