Post by: USSEnterprise on July 04, 2005, 11:57:49 pm: what does it support as far as CPU's and RAM
Title: Re: FS/FT: ECS K7VTA3 Motherboard
Post by: Raven.. on July 05, 2005, 12:47:04 am: Let me see....

Supports AMD socket 462 chips (only thing I use!) Athlon, AthlonXP, Duron (and I think Sempron although it isn't listed)

Up to 2gb DDR333 RAM (2 slots on board)

UltraDMA 133 (and below)

On-board sound, USB 2.0, 10/100 LAN

and it says it supports overclocking! I've never seen that listed on a box before.

Most Intel chips are cheaper or around the same price Athlon 64s anymore, especially if you go with Socket 754 Athlon64s.

Post by: Raven.. on July 06, 2005, 12:07:09 am: Ok, I found an Athlon Thoroughbred 1.67Ghz CPU in the closet. It's used, but put back into it's original plastic OEM box. So the motherboard now comes with a free CPU! It's untested and will stay that way. I don't feel like messing with it for a freebie.

I have no idea why I have these parts around, but someone else can surely use them. I'm not building another MAME cab any time in the forseeable future, and this is definitely fast enough for MAME....considering the last rig I ran was using a 900Mhz Athlon.

They are typically faster, and are more stable to overclock.
