Well, I went ahead and ordered one even though I'm not holding out a lot of hope this price will be honored.
For those looking for a good-but-cheap board, Compgeeks still has the dual S370 Intel 815 board by Acorp. You can't plug in two Celerons, but $30 for a full ATX motherboard with RAID...
Keep in mind that the KG7 will be using a 1/4 multiplier on the PCI bus which moves it from 33MHz to 41.5MHz, a 26% increase. Some hard drives or expansion cards may not tolerate it very well. Similarly, the AGP will be at 83MHz. Not saying that it can't be done, but it's going to be very...
Hmm, I haven't noticed any issues with the XS0X firmware. My drive is on an Abit KG7-RAID running Windows 2000 SP2, no Via 4-in-1's have been installed. I've burned with 3 different brands of media since the firmware update (Fuji, Imation, and Jensen), but of course brand names mean...
I thought I'd share this firmware flash for the Cendyne 32x12x40 hot deal from Staples a few weeks ago ($79.98 with $50.00 rebate). The Cendyne packaging contained a Verbatim 321240AL which is a rebranded Liteon LTR-32123S so I set out to modify Liteon's flash utility to convert the drive to a...
I don't believe anyone has mentioned it, but these cards are made by Powercolor. I ordered a couple of them a few weeks ago for installation into a couple of media boxes (outputting XviD and DivX to TV). They work well for this purpose, and they do include fans on the GPU.

Nah, no joke. Acorp did what noone else had the cajones to do. Intel didn't officially condone the use of the 815 in a SMP configuration, but Acorp went ahead and built a stable and inexpensive dual board. Frankly, I have two dual boxes and both have 512MB of memory. I believe that's fine...
wasamicron, just to confirm what you are thinking, the KG7 allows one to select between either 3.5V or 3.65V for the I/O Voltage. The reading in the BIOS tracks this change pretty closely (within 3 hundredths of a volt). It's peculiar that the writers of Abit's BIOS would retain the label of...
That's good news, wasamicron. You said the fan is rated at 5V, so putting it on the 3.3V line will make it spin a little slower than its rated speed, but draw more current than its rated 200mA at 5V. I don't see a problem with that at all. Instead of dissipating the power as heat, you're...
Received 10 of these fans Friday. They do not appear to have a thermistor (usually exposed from the hub) so I doubt they're variable speed. Outstanding deal nonetheless, and in most chassis the leads should be long enough to reach the 3-pin motherboard header(s).
Best regards,

> how close are these measurements to readings from your bios...i don't have a meter to measure so can only go by bios. i have the same board as you.
3.33V measured - 3.50V BIOS
4.99V measured - 4.97V BIOS
12.2V measured - 11.94 BIOS
The 3.3V discrepancy is due to the KG7's default I/O voltage...
> Well, you learned something yourself and got some hands on experience.
No, I didn't learn anything new. Simply verified that this is one of a number of power supplies that requires a minimum load on the 3.3V rail. Given that these PSU's were likely manufactured for a specific OEM...
