After years of Intel chips I am seriously thinking about jumping on the AMD bandwagon. I was thinking about getting the Abit KT7A, but reading recent posts about problems has made me hesitate. Does anybody have any good experiences with this board? How about a better recommendation? I use Win2k almost exclusively with Win Me as a last resort for games that don't like win2k. Win2k stability and performance is of the essence.

Hi, I was in the same situation as you, intel through and through, then i went for a 1.1Ghz TBird and a abit kt7, i had alot of problems with this board and sent it back and got a Asus a7v133 instead and it is 100% stable. This could have been because i changed my ram (most probably) i now have 128Mb cas2 133 mhz crucial ram and this definitly helps stability, so does a good power supply (300 watt or more).
Hope this helps
