FIC AZ11 $32 @ compgeeks

[onelove]

refurb: AZ11E-R (?-R?)
new: AZ11

$31.50 & $32.50. the AZ11E has some additional fsb settings, multiplier settings, & vcore, but the latter 2 are flinstone dipswitches (& sketchily documented, some may think). The AZ11 only gives you FSB and maybe v-core (undocumented in prior versions of manual) If you need an old KT133 board that's stable stable stable, these might be 4 u. peace

EDIT: AZ11 review 5.5/10; AZ11E review 7.5/10 again, these are $32 boards, folks - maybe useful if you have a spare duron lying around & want to string together a linux router or something fun like that. take it ez all

ordered one yesterday, after the newegg one had a fried bios and the 15 days were up before
I hooked it up (they are close to me, so ground delivery is fast, return to)

I use the FIC AZ11 in my basement PC, which is normally only used for internet activity. It is very stable . . .

Just my 2 cents.

The AZ11E is considered to be much more stable than the AZ11... I had an AZ11E, it was ok.

I had the AZ11 with all the updated video drivers, direct x, 4 in 1s, etc. until last fall. It was pretty stable for normal applications, but not stable for gaming for more than a few minutes. Obviously the AZ11E and AZ11ER are newer models with which the problem may have been corrected. I bought another 133 board, an MSI KT7 Turbo 2, which I swapped into the machine in place of the AZ11 and it is 10,000 times as stable and only freezes up when gaming on a rare occassion. It is the most stable computer I've ever had. As far as the FIC board goes, if you are making a budget computer where you are not using the AGP slot intensly, I'd say go for it,...great deal. Otherwise, I'd say try a different mobo. IMHO.
