+ir0nw0lf Subscriber² Posted August 22, 2001 Subscriber² Share Posted August 22, 2001 I have a secondary machine with a A7A266 and it runs XP just fine. It also runs Win2K fine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoneLine Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Yep, same results here. I've been running XP since beta 2 on a a7a266 and before that it was windows 2000, never had any problems. One thing I have seen mentioned about the board is that its somewhat picky about DDR memory and works best with crucial DDR. Crucial is what I do have and have not had any problems. http://www.amdmb.com is a good site with lots of AMD motherboard info and message boards. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
