MSI K7 Master

[Guest]

The K7 Master is nothing but trouble. 1)Win2k SR1 will not install on the motherboard it will reboot by itself while installing Distributed Transaction Support using 1.1 bios. I didn't attempt with 1.2 but it does not say that is has been corrected. 2)The Motherboard is so large it will not fit many cases.

Intresting, I had heard some good things about the board. I'm surprized to hear such a bad post about it.

I have a K7-Master and yes I had trouble at first. Once I read the manual, cleared the CMOS and set the BIO's correctly, made sure my P/S was sufficient and read everything I could find out about the MB before I bought it things went smoothly!! but I'm sure you know this!! The size of the board is mentioned in just about every review I've read and a warning that it will not fit in all cases! You can get additional help at www.msihardware.com /forums/K7-Master.
