Got the replacement board for the ASUS A7V 133, that I returned to the dealer and it seems to be working pretty good.

It must have been a bad board because I have no problems with the USB devices as I did before..knock on wood LOL

The Old Abit's may have been the best for overclocking but any advantages it has over the current crop of boards are minimal. I've used the Iwill board and if you're down to overclock hardcore then it blows away the Abit. I'm using the asus right now and in terms of stability and performance and feature's it's unmatched. No offense to Abit users, but Abit does NOT hold the overclocking crown anymore and in combination with it's spotty QA, that's the LAST board I'd recommend. Basically, Abit is still relying on the brand name recognition as an overclockers' board that it developed way back in the day. The fact of the matter is, this is NO longer an advantage for them and people who continue to flock to Abit are only perpetuating the myth that Abit makes boards for "overclockers". Sure you can tweak out your board...guess what, even tweaked out, it barely comes close to the Asus in performance. Asus A7V133 all the way.

I agree with the antec coments, and all antec sx1030 owners rave about it, see pagecomputers.com for $72, just got one.
if u can wait till and of april asus a7v 266-raid will come out with both DDR and Sdram slots and I hear it will be Palamino compatible. If u cannot wait there are many fine solutions, for either DDR or SDram already.

MSI K7T Turbo. Very, Very, Very stable, much cheaper, .x % slower (would you notice? I wouldn't).


Edit - Fixed typo...

I would almost second the MSI-Turbo. The multiplier quirks however, leave a little something to be desired...and no, this isn't a , hey it works for me type deal. With higher end chips, certain multipliers DO NOT work correctly with this board. This becomes a problem for guys who REALLY want to unleash their chips by going above and beyond the 133 fsb. If you want to plug and go, then the MSI is a great board.



FYI - I've flashed and reflashed my bios using both the windows utility via the Asus site and the normal method. No problems here RegalK. I really wanna know what issues you're having with it.
