i dont know if it really support the prescott!!??

I can't find anything about Prescott on it, either. The general reviews on the pt880 chipset have been good (although few in number).

Another looker for a low price is the MSI PT800 Neo board. I'm very seriously tempted on that one, since I only do moderate overclocking.

Haven't found much word on Prescott support, though. (Although I'm not altogether sure whether or not I even care about Prescott. I'd rather wait until Tejas with possible 64-bit extensions.)

*edit*
On this page, I found that the MSI board above has Prescott support:

How much is that board, the AI7 can be had for $99....

I just haven't had any luck with VIA chipsets myself....

Saw it for $65ish on NewEgg ... -- Paul

I've ordered this board today too for my client. Seems like a very nice board with LOTS of features for the money! And yes it does support the Prescott. Here's more info one the Prescott CPU's for ABIT:

Well, I ended up going for the AI7, but I still think that that particular board will be a decent one. -- Paul

Hi Guys

Do any of you guys know how good and how far you can overclock this board and also how are the voltage settings board looks pretty good on paper want to try out my 2.4c with my corsair memory and try to get to 280 fsb Thanks again guys

macklin01 · Mar 2, 2004

That's a pretty high FSB. Might be worth the money to go for an 865 or 875-based board for those results, although this could conceivably work as well. -- Paul

misterman87 · Mar 2, 2004

Hi again

Well i do have a p4p800 deluxe board just looking for something different also the price is pretty good also and i would like to see how good it runs and does it have the agp /pci lock also thanks

macklin01 · Mar 2, 2004

PCI / AGP lock: yes -- Paul

misterman87 · Mar 2, 2004

Hi

Hi there Paul can you tell me alittle about this board maybe what type of voltage setting this board and maybe some overclocking on this board has thanks

macklin01 · Mar 2, 2004

Hi. Well, I don't actually have this board, so I can't say much in addition to whatever reviews you might find via google.

I did post some info I had found on the chipset here, but there were no bites. -- Paul

is there any guys use abit VT7(via pt880)??
