1) I may be purchasing the Abit TH7 II - RAID motherboard for a pentium 4 1.8a northwood processor. My intent is to overclock(of course) and I was wondering what BIOS this motherboard comes equipped with and if I can easily set the FSB in it? In other words, i'm wondering what you guys(fatburger and others come to mind) are using to increase the FSB/vcore of your pentium 4 systems with the Abit TH7 II. If you guys are using a different version BIOS than what comes with the board, which I assume, then could you please put a link to the BIOS you are using here.
2) I plan on purchasing the Abit TH7 II with the integrated IDE RAID for future capabilities. Does this mean that I can use my existing PCI IBM SCSI 40gb 7200rpm drive normally? Basically, i'm asking if I have to utilize the IDE RAID on the motherboard or if I can just use my PCI SCSI IBM drive for now till I decide to upgrade.
3) The pentium 4 (socket 478) 1.8ghz should overclock the same as a pentium 4 1.6ghz (socket 478) with the only difference being that the 1.8 can be overclocked higher than the 1.6, correct?
4) Just to confirm, the Abit T7 II - RAID does in fact lock the AGP and PCI speeds at 66 and 33mhz no matter what the FSB is right?
Thanks!
