Hello, I know that this has been going around for a while now.
It is not new news that the XP 2200 .13 core does not work in the KG7 line of MOBs and some others.
What is new and I can't speak for the others but I can for the KG7-Raid.
I just got off the Phone with Abit Tech support and the RMA department.
I contacted then conserning my RMA. (the 2nd RMA now) I was supprised to see it on it's way back already. I did find out that they are sending me a different board however that board will not be supporting the XP 2200 CPU. When qurried about the fact that I specificaly asked for them to make sure it worked with the XP2200, they replied they do not do that kind of work. I then made reference to the fact that a BIOS update was made availabe that stated that it was supposed to support the XP2200. Their reply was that they did not see that on the site.
Well... knowing that I had seen it some time ago I went to the site while I had them on the phone, and much to my suprise the statement in the 8S BIOS notes Supports XP2200 .13 is now GONE! that's right gone.
I explained that according to this and many other forums that have people trying to use the XP2200 in the KG series MOB's that there are a lot of poeple that think they will be returning their board to them for rework that will allow the XP 2200 to work. Again they replied they do not do that kind of work there.
So I said then you are saying that your company's offical position is that the KG7-R will not be supporting the XP2200 or any other .13 core. They said yes. I told them to be expecting a whole bunch of unhappy people contacting them then.
I'm glad that I'm done with Abit. When I get it back, it goes to the highest bidder.
