Biostar M7viw

Just want to share my experience with the Biostar M7VIW (KT266a, lan, sound) with anyone who might be interested...

I bought a Duron 1200 off a friend for $20 bucks a while back, and finally got around to using it as an upgrade, and didn't want to spend any more than I had to. I already had everything I needed, including some old-school, high performance PC133. Having both SDRAM and DDR slots, this board fit the bill. This is a screamer compared to my old Celeron 450a it replaced. Definitly not an overclocking board, but it is a great budget/extra rig/upgrade choice.

I highly recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to waste their PC133 memory.

HTH

Does anyone know if this board will support the Applebred Durons? I got nada on google.

If it supports a 1.2 Duron, it should support an Applebred. I'm thinking of getting a 1.6 just to see how far I can overclock it.

Bump.

I am looking into dropping an Applebred Duron in this board again (currently running a 1.2 Morgan.) It probably does, but perhaps someone here has done it or knows for a fact.

I have that board and i dont think it does run it. Biostar says it doesnt on their site.
