meglio la seconda ( GA-7VAXP VIA KT400+8235 chipset )...dopo una sommaria analisi ho notato che supporta processori con fsb a 333 mentre la prima solo a 266...
la seconda ti garantirà maggiore longevità e in futuro, di cambiare il processore mentre con il fsb a 266 mhz...,aimè.. io potrò "solo" metterci un 2600 +
spero di esserti stato utile!
comunque diffida delle versioni con l'audio integrato che a me ha causato alcune noie, vedi se c'è una versione simile senza...e anche la lan integrata mi sembra una cosa inutile!...ottimo invece il raid!
purtroppo mi serve il raid e la lan e l'audio mi tocca cuccarmele, cmqe le disabilito di pacca.....voglio farmi una lan senza fili....ma costa parecchio!!!
io ho l'a7v8x e non ho alcun problema ne con la lan, ne con l'audio 5.1 anzi è proprio ottimo :)
allora prendi la seconda... sperando che l'audio integrato
non ti scassi troppo le balle come a me!!!
penso anche io di puntare alla 2^!!!!
si vede che nonn avete mai provato una SOYO voi 2 eh!!!
fossi in te ci ripenserei..
la soyo ha di tutto e permette 300 impostazioni nel bios, sblocca i thoro e al mattino ti fa il caffè
Dunque tu consigli SOYO, sono ben lieto del tuo consiglio e, se hai la possibilità, vorrei che mi mandassi qualche info in + sulla DRAGON, grazie e ciao
con la soyo si fa anche un buon overclock e poi anche se ufficialmente non supporta il bus 333 la soyo viaggia benissimo sincrona a 166mhz quindi non ci saranno problemi, faranno un bios ufficiale e via..
io preferisco la SOYO
