Subject: asus a7v133

asus a7v with a new bios version.
or better the follower asus a7v133 with the new chipset version kt133a.

if you want to get the irongate chipset, there is only one socket a board: gigabyte 7IXE4
boards with the new irongate4 (amd760) are available from asus (a7m266), msi (k7master) or gigabyte - but they are expensive and support only ddr-ram, which isn´t faster in the moment.

i recommend the a7v133.

gruß,

Subject: that seems to be gone away with current bios versions.

yes. there was.

however, rainer "dr. pc" hain from "keyboards" says it´s gone with the current bios version.

the new boards featuring the new chipset version kt133a should already have that bios.

but you question the wrong one, my machines are intel only

yet...
