Hope you dont run into problems like so many of us have. Do yourself a favor. Load you OS the old fashion way. Bott from the floppy. I have been told that people are having problems booting from cd. Also, if you figure out how to flash the bios correctly to give the FSB changes. Let me know EXACTLY how you did it. email me @ nytshade2@home.com with instructions. I cant flash this thing correctly to save my life!!!! Got a 1.33GHz AYHJA core and I havent overclocked it yet!!!!!!

waaaaaaaatttttt

just got off the phone with the sales guy he let me know that he did get it shipped off today and gave me the tracking number and wow my bubble is shrinking thank you very much!

say it ain't so wilbur!

went thru took the advice in not getting the $99.00 which am glad was good advice then after reading all this about the motherboard got jazzed to find it at $59, found duron 950mhz for $60. and 256megs DDR for $30. and a 40x16x20 or more what ever that speed is, for $77.

I asked the sales guy to make sure I didn't have to do anything and wasn't the older version he said was latest verion and didn't have to do anything to it.

i will check left msg. But will let you know what happens.

cya,

You didn't have any trouble setting it up?

[Richard_Cranium72]

I had NO problems booting from the CD, this is the first mention of that prob I've heard of..

Yeah, I had a few problems but I attribute them more to my inexperience than to the board...the 1st time I turned it on it beeped like crazy because I didn't have the video card seated properly. I put the cards in one by one so that if there was a problem I would know where to look. The most trouble I had was with the SoundBlaster driver and with Windows setting up the modem correctly. That's about it...
