I'm still waiting on the damn CPU to show up before I can use it. The Epox is here. I ordered the CPU on 6/13 w/next day shipping. Well, accessmicro hasn't even shipped it yet. So as soon as they decide to learn how to run a business I'll let you know how it goes.

epox 8k7a if you dont need extra features of gigabyte

if you want creative on board sound and 1 extra dimm (requires more expensive registered memory)
then get gigabyte

well, I just made the same move as Kakerot, Epox 8K7A and Crucial ram with a 1.33 gig 'bird. Should get it by the end of the week. Ordered a new power supply, as that seems to be a continuing factor on the hotter 'birds for a stable overclock. Will let you all know what kind of mess it results in. But the AMD boards are giving most of the kudos to the Gigabyte and Epox mobos and the AMD chipset.
