GIGABYTE GA7VRX

[Guest]

I am wanting to buy this MB but I can't find anything on it. I find all kinds of stuff on the Gigibyte GA7VRXP. What is with the "P". Are these the same boards. They both use the Kt333 chipset.
This is how it is listed:GIGABYTE GA7VRX SOCKET A VIA KT333 5PCI/0ISA/0CNR 3DDR 1AGP4X ATA

One more question, the ATA part there( I'm new to building)does that have to do with the type of power it needs? So when I buy a power supply do I need to look for ATA? Because most of them say ATX. It's confusing.

ATX is the form factor of the motherboard. Simply put, ATX mobo = ATX case. Nothing heavy.

ATA= AT attachment. ATA33/66/100/133 is the speed in (mega bits per second) a particular device will run at. 66/100/133 relates to hard drive speed. Check out hard drives and you'll see the same sort of info in their descriptions.

thx for the links. So I can use ATX case and Power supply right? And it just looks like the difference is there are more features on the P version.

No probs.

Yes ATX is the standard. These boards and most others are ATX. Don't worry. Unless you specify otherwise, ATX will be what is refered to.
