I've just upgraded to an Athlon 800mhz Tbird on the A7V. Reinstalling the PCI
devices on the cloned hard drive was a chore, with some unusual problems. But in
the end everythings been working fine, stable and fast (about two weeks now) I
am quite satisfied.

The ATA100 controller and ability to have 8 IDE devices is a selling point.


But one thing there doesnt seem to be any email ASUS tech support. i emailed a
problem (which my dealer couldn't solve, but I ultimately did) four times over a
4 week period with no response.

chip. In order to i would have to buy a new mb and a new case and power supply.
I was thinking about the Asus A7V socket A board,i have heard a lot of good
things about it. Either that or Abits socket A mb. Does anyone know weather or
not this would be a good idea or should i wait to see what else comes out? Any
good or bad feelings about weather it would be worth the investment of about
$300-$350.
