After going through hell in the past four days I'm finally up and running. It started with the Abit KT7A....would freeze and lock up so often that I wasn't even able to install some of the drivers. Unstable like Clinton on crack. Got the MSI K7T Raid Turbo....Everything was fine, except that piece of crap promise controller. Couldn't install windows on the raid array. WTF? I have never seen an installation error like that ou0013. Went back and got K7T Turbo Limited Edition....this baby is purrrrrin', so is the 1.4Ghz Athlon.....and 256MB of Mushkin Rev. 3+. Thanks to all the folks that answered all of my questions....party on and don't forget to OC.
