why do you want to OC your 1.4? how much more power do you need?

ignore everything i say

Why WOULDN'T you want more power than you can easily get?
I'll take everything AMD hands me, and steal a little more

Why??--you ask??

Probably to show off to friends.

Get the A7M266, and set your bus speed to 155, that gives you 1628. Should work fine with PC2400 DDR.

ya might want to look for some reviews on the new abit board. KG-7 I think its called. Looks like they got all 4 DDR slots to work with AMD 761 chipset after all. Not sure howlong till it hits public though.

Crap, all the good ones are already taken.

Stable posted a thread on why 4 unregistered DDR DIMMS would not work on the AMD 761, so four dimms would require the use of registered memory.

I know I had a memory laps on that registered part. But at least they got all 4 to work with registered, the K7 Master couldn't do that and had to remove 2 of them.

Crap, all the good ones are already taken.

Actually MSI could have done that too, but decided to play it safe so they wouldn't get any returns.

the ga-7dxr has three slots for ddr and it also has mulipler jumpers on and i have seen it be be pretty close to the assus a7m266 beating it a by a little bit ussaly

but it is 20 dollarss more then the asus
but it has a lot of nice features you can check the review out at<A HREF="http://www.amdmb.com" target="_new">http://www.amdmb.com</A>
then after your read it go into the forms and look at all the ga7dxr becuase i found another place in ther that did a performance test agianst a couple of other moother boards
they had ethe chip up to a 169 fsb witha mjulitplyer of ten but it was unstable at that point
