If I have an excellent KT266A board ....

chainbolt · 23rd February 2002, 5:29 PM

like the KR7A with a XP 1700+ running at almost 1700Mhz, what could be the next? For sure not a KT333 board, we know this already. Any recommendation?

umm... who knows, maybe you have to wait to find out

Creative · 23rd February 2002, 5:46 PM

I rekon wait for the KT400 chainy. That coupled with a new .13 AMD cpu will own anything. If your a gamer then even a GF4 Ti46000 would be nice....

Wait for a dual-Hammer set-up

Be happy with what you've got damn it...

My once happy 1.4GHz T-Bird is being replaced with a XP1600+ so that should be interesting...

Could always hang out for the K9...

Grab another 1700+

Get a MPX mobo

I am very happy at the moment, after a horrible 2001 with

- 4 dead TBird 1.33
- one dead 7DRX
- 3 dead 8KHA+
- 1 moronic Promise TX/4 (very expensive)
- 1 Audigy which refused to run properly on the KR7A

I am now happy that my current system

KR7A
XP 1700
512 MB PC 2700
ATA 133 RAID Rocket 404 with Maxtor disks

is running like a charme

But, we are always looking forward to the next best, probably a KT400 with a 0.13 CPU???

Dr Kildare · 23rd February 2002, 7:22 PM

Mmmmmmmm that would be good...

Be interesting to see how AMD's upcoming hammer chipsets go too...

Man... you certainly have some problems with yourself to have such an extensive list of dead components...

don't forget I am writing reviews for OCAU. There is a certain tear and wear. Please read this here about the infamous ZEN Radiator
http://www.overclockers.com.au/techs..._radiator_zen/
which killed my beloved 7DXR and one of the 4 TBird 1.33. Finally it was OCAU (on my expenses) that warned the wordl about this great evil CPU cruncher.

But I don't deny that I have a problem, for example with my girlfreind. How about you?
