Do you really buy refurb mb's, are they worth it? any stability problem or set up problem?

Newegg warranties their's for a short period. Just get it up as soon as possible and test it. Newegg is very, very good when it comes to rma. I would buy refurb from them but probably only them.

Ditto that, my A7M is a refurb.

AK31 is a good board but mine took some tweaking with drivers and BIOS to get my system stable.

Right now I would say a K7S6A would be up there too....

You're very, very welcome. Love the old birds but I do think it is only a matter of time now till it is the backup chip.:(

Have gotten it up as high as 1.77 for testing only as i can not control the heat for long with the present setup. Will post at 1920.
