Awesome Board- i875 chipsset (ic7-g) for the price of a retail IS7-g 865 chipset.


This board cost me 179.99 a few months back, now going for 125$!!! free shipping

Wow, nice price. I believe this board was ranked up there with the Asus P4C800-E in its overclocking abilities and its overall speed. I hope this means the asus 875 boards come down in price as well

EDIT:
Hmmm, looks like the max II has had some issues (read the threads):

And you may not be able to use the prescotts on this mb. Looks like the max3 overcomes the problems the max2 had.

Up to $145.99 now. Still better than what I paid for it just last month!

It says $20 instant rebate after you add it to the cart in green words. So it's still $125.99. Just varified it 11:54 AM EST, 3/11/04.

Did they finally fix that audio issue ? I remember a big discussion on this topic.

Teamspeak has static for me. Looking at the 40+ pages basically says it isn't fixed. Also I can't seem to get the onboard LAN to work - it pulls a DHCP IP and then I can't ping the gateway. Added a Linksys 10/100 and it works fine.

Mine is a refurb from NewEgg $79 so at least I can buy a sound card and be out less than a new board.

I've got a 2.8C running at 3.5 ie 250x14 @1.625v (CPUZ shows 1.57 to 1.6)

Hello,

I had the audio problem, I fixed it by using the manufacturers drivers, not abit.
Seems that abit had drivers that were one version behind the manufacturers one.

Fixed the problem for me. Before that, audio was totaly unstable.

that link is a year old, And i've used the board for that long, And never had an audio issue?? nice heads up though. It was only a driver problem anyway if i remember.

Kinda like everthing when it comes out new!!
