EPOX EP-8K7A advice

[Ferg]

I am building a system for a friend, here is the specs

Inwin Medium Tower case - 300 watt power supply
Epox EP-8K7A(no raid)
Tbird 1 Ghz
Kingston PC-2100 DDR ram, 256 megs
IBM 60 gxp 40 gig
ATI Radeon LE 32 megs
Sound Blaster Live Digital
Lite-On 12x10x32 Burner
Pioneer 16x DVD
Netgear 10/100 NIC
Golden Gate w/Power Cooler fan

*this system will not be overclocked

So any advice from your Epox guys out there. I have read through the online manual so I am some what familar with the jumpers and especially the Bois since I have an Award Bois on my motherboard. I was a little confused about the jumpers. I didnt see a jumper for jumper-free mode, but there were some things that I thought were jumpered and in the bois, like multiplier, fsb speed, and voltages.

Thanks for all your help.

I am pretty sure you can do all of that in the bios. Here is a piece of a review from tom'shardware.

The multiplier and Vcore setting is done via two DIP switch blocks (SW1 and SW2), while JP2, JP3 and JP4 are responsible for the FSB speed: 100 or 133 MHz. Inside the BIOS setup, you may also alter the particular values.

The BIOS does not differ very much from the ones that are used by competitors. There are many options for the memory parameters. If you are not familiar with them, you should have the auto config set it up for you.

I hope this helps.

that board is kind of a hybrid not ever thing can be set in the bios. but there is enough option with the setting that tweaking could take a long time as both jumpers and bios settings have alot of options. fsb can be set in the bios but depending on the jumper setting on the board it can get unstable hope that made sense
