Sorry about all these questions.

You say you reckon the GA7 dx is a good board but r u just sayin that cause you'll get the most money from us? And also i read many reviews about the abit ka7a saying its amazing. Also many benchmarks show that ddr only slightly improves computer speeds and so is it really worth getting ddr in your opinion? By the way how much would 256mb of ddr cost?

The GA7 DX is a top quality board, why not check out the review of the AMD 760 Chipset and Related motherboards on Tomshardware as for the fact that benchmarks show only a slight increase, this is due to the fact that ost programs are not developed with a 266MHz fsb in mind and will in the fullness of time be released in new versions that will make full use of the extra speed. If you like the KA7A go ahead and get one, it is a quality board, but to make sure your not left beind in the future the GA-7DX is a fine choice.

Also what is the manual that comes with the GA7-DX like? Would you need much experience to set it up?
