Will be purchasing a new motherboard for a general user soon and I'm considering the Giga Byte GA-7DX+. I need to know (and have had difficulty finding information on), however, whether the problems assoiciated with the AMD 761 chipset (such as data corruption on transfers of large files) were ever fully solved by patches or in later revisions of this board and also whether there are any updates that will allow it to run Windows XP effeciently. Please be as specific as possible regarding whatever problems may still remain. If there are any, I have choosen as a backup to this board the Shuttle AK35GTR and would appreciate any insight on complications that may still remain with it. System will be a basic setup running an Athlon 1700XP, 256 megs of Crucial PC2100 ram, video card, sound card ( CREATIVE pci 128), and a 56k modem. Please don't suggest any other motherboards or other chipsets as the two boards listed here are the only considerations.
