hi,i just bought an axia 1.2ghz from ebay[recieve it tommorrow] and thought they are all 266mhz. im not sure if this 1 is as it just hit me now while i was in momentary brain deadness, that maybe they come in both . does anybody know about this......thanks

Yup, they do. I have an AXIA 200 FSB chip right now. Of course, I'm running it at 280 right now, but, well, you know........

how is the kt7a with you ,im thinking very seriously about getting 1,have you had any probs with it ,and what is the advantage of raid{shamefully asking/i just dunno what it is!].........

[TT120]

It's a killer board, I have 2, one raid and one not raid. IMHO, they are by far the best MoBo around. Never had any problems with them except for breaking off one of the lugs on the socket. But that was my fault and had nothing to do with the board. The 'RAID' stands for Redundant Array of Independant Disks. It can allow you to do what they call striping where you have 2 identical drives and set them up as 1 drive. The data then get written to them in an interleaved fashion thereby almost doubling your data transfer rate. You can also set up raid to make a mirror copy of your main drive so that there is always a backup of your disk in case your main one crashes. Or, with 4 drives you can set it up to do both striping and mirroring at the same time.

thanks tt120, im convinced,i probably wont get it until end of next week ,and then im gonna need a decent graphics card [im using leadtek gforce 2 mx,dont thik its good enough for O'Cing] and some decent ram/whats your opinion on kingmax pc150 sdram? we cant get the ushkin stuff here in australia! see ya m8

The Kingmax is good ram, just make sure you get the cas2 rated stuff. Corsair and Crucial is also good but the crucial stuff is overpriced. I've been looking at the Corsair ram myself, although I can afford any right now. The generic pc133 I have now is doing a pretty good job for me however. I have it running at cas 2 and the fastest settings I can run at 140 Mhz.
