OCers lend me your ears!!

asus a7v133 for pc133 or asus a7m for ddr pc-2100.
make sure you get cl2 ram.
processor choice doesn't matter. personally i'd get a 1.13ghz and o/c it.

It doesn't have <b>Multiplier Swith</b> in either BIOS or Dipswitch, so I wouldn't get it if I intend to overclock!

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

hmm - can anyone say oxymoron?

oxymoron

you do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong

Yeah, I see your point, peteb. But Abit makes stable stuff, everyone knows that.

I haven't had any problems whatsoever with mine. And I don't have the newest BIOS either (I have ZT, shipped with it). A friend of mine just got one, too. No problems so far, but too early to tell for sure.

I think the higher number of reported problems are just because it's a popular board.

Oh, someone else I know who has a KT7 hasn't had any problem with that, either.

Epox 8K7A+ is superb. It has Front side bus up to 166, multiplier adjustment, Ram voltage adjustment, and vcore over 2 volts (according to bios and via hardware monitor).
I've overclocked my 1.4 to 1.6 several different ways. If you want a bigger overclock for your money try and get a 1.33 GHz AYHJA. You'll probably pay $30 less but overclock just as high as the 1.4 GHz.
Its a DDR motherboard that has the AMD761 chipset and it is very stable even at high temperatures.

KT7?? I'm not talking the KT7, I'm talking about the soon to be released KG7.

No matter what board you get make sure make sure you get PC150 RAM and not PC133 RAM. Go with Kingston or Corsair. It will cost ever so slighly more but will give a massive performance boost.

Very Good PC133 might OC to near 150Mhz FSB but the PC150 will go to 160Mhz FSB.


1.6Ghz/133 (12x multiplier) will be slower than 1.5Ghz/150 (10x multiplier).

Bandwidth rocks!

Pretty much every CPU made now is unlocked. AMD CPUs, of course. Can't say the same about Intel

Ok. So tell me, in your opinion if this is a good oc'able system:

M.B. Abit KG7
CPU AMD TB 1.4 oc'ed to whatever
Case Coolmaster ATC201
PS Enermax 431W
Video GF3(prolly hercules)
Memory PC2400 2X256MB(been told Crucial or Corsair)
HD IBM Deskstar GXP series
HSF NC's Silverado

Does this sound like a good oc'able, solid system??? I don't know squat about new memory, so I don't know if that pc2400 is 150, how can I tell??

PC150 RAM is SDR SDRAM
PC2400 RAM is DDR SDRAM

I am not familiar with the KG7 so I dont know whether it runs SDR or DDR. Depending on which it runs get the matching RAM above for maximum overclocking potential.


Get one of the 60 series IBM drives not the 75 series. The 60 series runs faster and more quiet, and for some strange reason I think it's cheaper too.


<font color=blue>Smoke me a Kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!</font color=blue>

KG7 is DDR-SDRAM, Abit's only DDR board so far.

Oh, and it doesn't have 8 IDE channels, it has four. Four channels will support 8 devices though.
