This is true. My first Abit board was the KA7-100, for an 800MHz Ath. Something happened that ended up frying the IDE controllers. I went to upgrade, but of course by this stage no-one sold Slot A mobos, so I had to upgrade to a socket mobo, the KT7A-RAID, also by Abit. In the period since I bought it, the second serial port stopped working altogether, and the first IDE channel isn't detected by the BIOS (which I suspect is my fault). I won't be buying Abit again, but I won't say that they're all crap ;) (If anyone knows where I can get a Slot A motherboard, preferably non-Abit, I'd be interested... I have an 800MHz processor that's yearns to hunt for aliens.) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg Virtual reality is its own reward. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
