Made up my mind and getting this board :)
$107 plus $10 shipping isn't that bad for the highest ranked Socket-A board. From the resellerratings evaluation, these guys seems to be top notch.

I've heard it's very good for a socket A, and a decent price to considering.

be advised that it does NOT support a voltage above 1.8v :(

other than that it seems to be VERY good.

Aye, my duron 700 is running at 1030mhz @ 1.85v. Durons definitely need the extra juice, but I'm sure my duron could pull 1ghz @ 1.8 :)

K7T Pro2-A

Post by Syn »

GreenTurtle I installed a K7T Pro2-A and 800Mhz T-bird 2 days ago and no problems at all here.This is my first AMD venture(and my first MSI board of any kind)and I was expecting problems of some sort but there were none.

I havent tried overclocking yet because I need to get a FOP38 or Hedgehog(havent decided yet).

I havent got a thing to complain about,it's been nothing but 100% stable so far and gave me 0 problems during the install.I'm happy with my purchase and am considering buying another one and replacing my wife's 300a@464/BH6 setup with a pro2-A/Duron setup after the holidays.

Reconsider getting a FOP38...when I first got mine, I could barely stand the loudness (since I usually run with case off). This mofo is LOUD, but it does keep everything cool. I would recommend the FOP 32-1 if you're not a loud type of guy.
