Hi all. Pretty sure my Abit IC7-G passed away on me this morning and I'm considering purchasing a new board while the dead one makes it way thru the RMA process. I know its been awhile since the release of Canterwood/Springdale and was wondering what the consensus is these days as to which...
I plan on going with an Abit IC7-G and was wondering what the best pata/sata raid config would be. I currently have a maxtor 60gb w/ 8mb cache hdd. I have the opportunity to get a hold of a WD 80gb w/ 8 mb cache for around $50. Can these two drives be used in a striped raid array. If so...
Just read an interesting post over on hardocp's forums from an MSI canterwood user. The northbridge fan has those 4 led's in it.. and well according to this guy one or more of those leds kind of exploded with the fragments of one landing on, and subsequently burning, his southbridge chipset...
I have a couple of questions on this subject. I was going to go with either the low end version of the MSI or Abit board until I realized that neither included pata ide raid. So, I'm definitely set on one of the higher end boards; the IC7-G or FIS2R Neo.
Now my questions are as follows. From...
also, just out of curiosity I went to see if abit had updated any of their downloadable files for the IC7 series lately. They haven't since around march. However.. MSI seems to have already released their 3rd bios revision for their canterwood boards; the latest one being just a couple days...
wow. I was really starting to lean towards the MSI board but now I'm not so sure. Still unclear as to whether or not the IC7 has built in lan or NO lan whatsoever. How much of a performance gain do you think you'd get with CSA enabled lan if you have 2 or 3 or more devices on your PCI bus...
well, I would like to see the aopen, abit, and msi compared. the gigabyte is a little too steep in price for me. the epox doesn't include csa so even tho I know its a good overclocker it doesn't have one of the key features that I want. the asus, for some reason I just really don't care about...
nod, re-read that. for some reason the word "specs" didn't stick in my mind. anywho, does anyone know, or have a guess, how the abit IC7-G and the MSI FISR will stack up against each other? the bios options on the MSI board kinda have me drooling right now after reading that review posted...
no idea, but I'm definitely confused on which board to buy now; the msi fisr or the abit ic7g. after reading that review for the msi board I'm not so set on the abit board.
Please forgive my ignorance on the subject.. but why has MSI gotten themselves a bad rep in the past for mainboards? Someone had mentioned that earlier and I was under the impression that their boards were fairly good. Is it a certain issue such as tech support? Or is it something far more...
Out of all the new 875 boards I truly hope that either the abit or msi review is next on their list. I think there are quite a few people holding their breath for the Abit as well as myself. However, though I have never owned one, did anyone else notice that the MSI based 875 board in all of...
