Take a look in newsgroups alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (also giga-byte)

They seem to getting a reputation for foulups!

Of course. you never hear anything good of anyone in a newgroup - who's going to post and say "My model xxx worked perfectly and I never had any trouble with it!" ?

It's not a bad board, however there are a few better from these brands:
Shuttle, Soltek, Abit, Asus, Epox (depends on your hardware)
*using the same KT266A chipset
& don't let pokopiko sell you on the 761 AMD chipset (*_^)

** note that every board has a problem or 2 & most don't get them, just mainly those posting who do have an issue.

In one recent group test, (of complete PCs, so there could be variations)

Top memory performance went to KT333 and nForce, with KT266 next and anything else lagging.

Just don't bother with nForce onboard graphics unless you intend building a real cheapie!

After trying the Asus KT333 and the Gigabyte 7VRXP, I can only recommend the MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU. Depending on where you look (ignore Tom's hardware) it has higher performance numbers. But best of all ITS STABLE. The other 2 boards are not nearly as stable.

Do yourself a favor...do a Google search for the MSI board. There are many happy customers with this board! I am but one of them. :cool:
