I Need Some MAJOR Help!!!

yeah, they were fine. Actually, it was a bum board. It died about after 12 hours of use. I RMA'd it, and ended up buying a FIC AD11.

Well Iwill won't get anymore of my damn money, ever

Hey, Asus and abit got their name from somewhere, and thats good mobos. I have amended my thoughts on asus and abit, since I've contradicted one of my principles. It just seems like Asus & Abit have alot of complains, because I read them on this and dozens other boards. But, that's...

Well Iwill won't get anymore of my damn money, ever

Abit doesn't charge for an RMA? I'm positive I'm right, so I'm not going to argue. Also, almost every vendor charges for shipping on an RMA. And as far as the A7M266, why aren't other vendors doing the same? In fact, in the next month, there will be a few more AMD760 boards coming out (Abit...

Dream Mobo, Proc, Case & RAM < $600?

This is what I got: Lian-Li PC-12 case - $169 (directron) KA266 MB - $147 (newegg) PC2100 RAM - $60 (crucial) 1.2 ghz AMD 266fsb cpu - $249 (tcwo) Ok, so it totals $625, but it should be kick ass (i'm building it this weekend). I also bought another stick of 128 for a total of 256 at $120.

where in the world did you see that? The KA266 is presently being shipped as 1.3, but the KK is still, and will be for a while, version 1.2. If you did infact see that the KK is verison 1.3, then it was a misprint. And as far as faulty KK 1.2's, there is probably only about 500, as it was...

yeah, kingofcomputers, they are the same. There are two types of floppys, ones that work, and ones that don't (unless you have a scsi?!?!). Bottom line though, if the performance of your floppy drive means that much to you, then you probably can get away with using a p133 or something of that...

I cannot believe the amount of post this thread has attracted!!! It's a friggin floppy drive. They all perform about the same, and they all range in prices from 10-25 dollars. I bought a black Sony Floppy for $25 and couldn't tell the difference between this one or any other one I've ever used.

Crucial selling 128 meg DDR 2100 for $60, HOT DANG!

Mine was supposed to be here, but with the storm we got here in MA, UPS has put a hold on all shipments (actually, it came yesterday.....but I wasn't here! DOH!). Also, more RAM from 256 to 512 doesn't really increase "speed" performance per se, so I think I would say the 256 of PC2100.

DDR Motherboards in Alienware Systems

Finality, you're a golden member, so I won't flame, but any review you read of the Iwill aLi chipset from Anand or Tom was not really accurate. Those were of the rev 1.1 board. Check this review if you'd like to know why the Iwill aLi chipset is better than the AMD 760: link Right now, this...

IWILL KK266 + DDR Ram

You are right, the KK266 does not take 184 pin RAM (DDR), While the KA266 only takes DDR RAM. He probably got the letters mixed up.

I will buy new DDR mobo this week. what's the best?

Almost all reviews of the Ka-266 board were of revisions 1.1 & 1.2, which are not the retail board which is sold in stores right now. The 1.3 outperforms the AMD760 board currently and the likelyhood of this board getting even better thru further bios' is very high. If you HAD to buy a...

want to O/C A DELL ????Please surely someone knows if it will work or not

In my opinion, the only reason to buy a stock computer from a company like Dell is because of the warranty. If you overclock that computer, you will have voided it.

valid argument, but I'll have to disagree with you on that point too (of course). while I am an die-hard AMDer, I can honestly say that the Pentium 4 is in and of itself is a better quality chip than the Athlon. The architecture in the pentium 4 is far more elaborate and more expensive to...

The reason Crucial only had it up for the Gigabyte board is that that's the one that is in the Micron XP's. I'm sure its purely a testing issue, the RAM should work for ANY DDR mobo. I'm wrestling with buying two 128 sticks right now (should I atleast wait until I decide which DDR mobo to buy ;)
