From some experimentation that I've done - the 8KHA is found to be the most stable DDR board that there is - what are your opinions ?

The long and short of it is: 'SPLAIN YOURSELF, ANDY! More stable how? How did you come to this conclusion? Share your knowledge with us! Uncork the vessel of wisdom, and let its golden light shower upon us!

The memory voltage does not go as high and I dont think it has a 1/5 pci divider.
wild_andy_c said:The 8KHA has more stability running chips at 1.85v at very high FSB's than any other board I've tried. Running 166Mhz FSB I've managed to do 2 weeks of uptime under win2k.
and also has every setting in the BIOS - no jumpers for multipliers or voltage.
Regards IDE and RAID - 8KHA does not have RAID. 8K7A does not have RAID. 8K7A+ does have RAID.
I think that too many people are perhaps buying 8K7A just because it's a trendy thing to do at the moment and because people were scared of the initial KT266 offerings.

If 100 people jumped off of a bridge would I jump? Probably not.
Now. If there was a swimming pool filled with bikini clad hotties. Would I be the first in? You betcha.

Now I'm more into fat bikini clad sweaties who are willing to make my day - you can actually jump on them to break your fall !!

Rob Cork said:Hey Andy, do you know of anywhere in the UK stocking the 8KHA? The only places I know of selling the 8K7A and 8K7A+ are overclocking retailers like overclockers.co.uk and tekheads.
