GA-7N400S-L good/average/bad ??

[dieymir]

I'm thinking in purchase this board. Anybody has any experience with it ?

My main concerns are with the BIOS.
User Manual's BIOS screenshots don't show the advanced settings Anybody can provide me some info about them ?
I wonder too if it'll show a device boot menu when you press a key (F8) like AMI BIOSes.

TIA

Actually, I just got this board and I came looking for information here about an issue I have with it (I can't access the clock multiplier and it reads my Athlon XP-M 3000+ and gives me a 6.0x multipler).

The board is actually pretty decent, aside from my issue with it. You have full control over the boot order, and there is actually a priority setting as well. I believe you can set 4 choices.

Also on the Advanced BIOS menu, after hitting Ctrl + F1, there is also AGP memory size and one or two other options, but not a lot more.

Only other problems I've found with the motherboard is that it doesn't like my Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro keyboard in the BIOS, on a USB port (I just added the PS/2 adapter), and the audio is really, REALLY flat. But that probably has a lot to do with the driver choice from nVidia (see the article on the frontpage right now).

On the whole though, it isn't too bad, but I'm rather kicking myself for not going with the ASUS board I was looking at.

Thanks for your input. I'll go with it since it's cheap (but decent) and I don't want to waste much much money in Socket A (Socket 754/939 it's the new wave !)
