[Good Deal?] -

Posted by: frouse22

I'm looking at building a second machine for home use from scratch, but i don't have a lot of $$. I found a combo at ebay cheap I think, It seems like a lot of hardware for the money. Can anyone help me out?
Here is the link [URL=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3402747970&category=3666]hardware[/URL]

thanks

If Microbell is correct in saying some of the specs are listed wrong (i'm not saying MB is wrong!) then it doesn't bode too well for the seller.

I emailed the seller and he said the board was the M7MIA-R and I found the specs here. [url]http://www.biostar-usa.com/products/socketA/m7mia-r/m7mia-r_specs.htm[/url] He also said that the board will support up to 2000+ and send me this link with people's overclocking [url]http://www.sysopt.com/userreviews/mboards/reviewhtml/Biostar_M7MIA-R.html[/url] and it looks like guys are running over 2ghz.
Thanks for the tips.

Even if the board is an early rev, the BIOS will likely support anything up to 2000+, but it doesn't meet AMD spec because it will report the actual clock speed rather than the P-Rating. The new BIOS update would fix that.

*NOTE* Biostar, and most everything ending in *star SuCkS! They are cheap boards, and won't last but like a year or so... (My experices... not yours; i could be wrong)
