Abit IC7-G

[RealMentalCase]

Does the abit IC7-G support my harddrive-- Samsung IDE ULTRA ATA133 ?

The manual says that it supports ultra 100/66/33 mode

I was also wondering if it would support a P4 3.4/ 800 mhz/ 1 mb ?

alot of sites say it supports up to 3.06

i was gonna get a 3.0/ 800mhz/ 1mb but i said what the fuck !

IT'S ONLY MONEY !!! lol

Your samsung ATA133 hard drive will work just fine. I can't say for certain but I'm also fairly sure that the 3.4 processor will also work just fine with the IC7-G, but it may take a bios update.

ata133 is backwards compatably with ata100, ata66, ata33....so yes, it will work just fine.

the ic7-g will support all p4's and celerons that are northwood based. so that 3.4 will work fine also.

umm .. no it's not fine .. that's a prescott .. if u want it to work u need a 512KB not 1MB ..
the 512KB is a northwood .. and I don't believe they released a 3.4C

If i were you I'd get the 3.0C ... but if you want the 3.4E .. then you might wanna look into another motherboard ... but check the Abit website and see what they have to say about it .. or ask tech support.

they did make a 3.4c.

the ic7 WILL work with prescotts. a northwood will perform slightly better than a prescott but the difference is negligable. and if you concerned about overclocking you have a higher probobility of hitting 4ghz or so with a prescott than a northwood. and since you said you wanted to look into watercooling, thats gives you even better odds of hitting higher speeds.

lets not turn this into a prescott vs. northwood thread.

No one was bashing Prescott or Northwood ... You're starting it by those claims forgetting that the Prescott is also HOT ... And if he did wanna hit 4 Ghz .. it's attainable with a 2.8 let alone a 3.4 ... Even if he was using watercooling ... the Northwood would be cooler at that temp. although I think the Prescott will perform better .. can't remember exactly which one was better but it is true .. the difference is negligable ...

I only suggest the Northwood because it's cooler !!

Actually they did release a 3.4c and you can get it on zipzoomfly.com when it is in stock. How do i know? I have one in my machine.

ok ok ... i believe you .. i checked the intel website ... OMG ...

I just said i don't believe .. i never said that it was final ..

I would suggest that you get the 3.4 if you are planning to o/c though because it would be a lot cooler o/c to 4 than a 2.8 ...

How easy is it gonna be .. I dont know .. you can ask $lipKnot I guess
