  • Building Athlon system - Any conflicts?

    I'm going to build an Athlon 600Mhz+ most likely with an Asus K7M and I was wondering if anyone has had problems with a G400 MAX with this board? Thanks for any info you have.

    I have not messed with Athlons myself, but from what I've seen around here, that is one of the better boards to choose for the G400. Just make sure you have an approved powersupply in your case...

      I built an 500 Athlon system using the ASUS K7M MB and had severe hanging problems until I realised that the G400 Marvel, NIC $ SBLive were huddled together on the same IRQ. I'd put the SB in the last slot & the NIC in the first PCI, this resulted in them all sharing IRQ11. After a bit of juggling I've now got a stable system. RTFM works after all!

        I have a k7-500 with an msi-6167 and all is well with my g400 32MB DH. No problems and the eye candy is simply amazing! UT is just breathtaking, and can just sit there and look at the pretty textures as the bots begin severing my heads....
