So I get this Abit mobo for my 3500+ I've dorked with it so much, I can't take it anymore and I'm sending it back to newegg for a different brand/chipset. There are so many issues with this board and high end memory I could puke. Just check the abit forums, they are riddled with known issues. Incorrect temp readings, unstable running at ddr400, agp/pci lock are broken. Sheesh. Get a grip Abit!
Anyways, I called newegg and even though this particular item is exchange for exact item only, I called and they are gonna let me slide and get another board, I just have to purchase it and call them to have a manager override their computer. So.......
I'm thinking about the new MSI board with the nforce chipset. My asus a7n8x with the nforce2 chipset has been rock solid and it has been moved to 2 or 3 different cases. I love the board. Anyways.....
Some questions for you people. Does the agp/pci lock work on these things? Are there any KNOWN issues that most of the people with these boards are having? (see abit board). I don't want to get another crapper. I'm so sick of working on this damn thing, I just want it to work correctly so I can get my game on.
Thanks in advance for the input
