I just built my new rig today.
New Parts.....
IWill KA266 ver. 1.3 $69 shipped
1.4 T-Bird 266 OEM Version Stepping AYHJA $117 shipped
Crucial 256k PC2100 $38 shipped
Parts from old system.....
Alpha Pal 6035 copper base h/s fan with Arctic Silver II
Voodoo3 3000 AGP (I know it's a bottle neck) new card soon.
Kenwood 52x52 CD-Rom
H.P. Burner
4 internal 3" fans for cooling
Cheap Full Tower with a 300w p/s (Sky Hawk brand p/s)
I installed everything fresh and clean. I formatted the H.D. and went at it. Everything went smooth with no hiccups. I used the newest ALi drivers and C-Media drivers. I'm using the Omega Voodoo drivers with DirectX 8.0a. I even plugged in my Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick via the USB port with no problems. I'm not too impressed with the on board sound, but it isn't all that bad. I can definitely tell that my soundblaster Live sounded better when i had it in my other system.
It is running around 45 Deg C at idle and I haven't seen it any higher than 52 Deg C while working. Haven't played any games yet though.
I was just wondering if there are more problems with the KK266 boards than the KA266 boards.
