Asus A7V8X-LA HP
I am bidding on the above in Ebay, but my concern is the last part of
the number HP the seller points me to a website for a spec. It is the Hewwlet packard site. This number last part of the number is not recognised by Asus. Is this a specialy designed board that won't work in a built system? Need an answere before biding ends TA Desmond. |

It is not a standard Asus board. Believe me... I have one. Stay away from it. The restrictions are onerous. |

Need an answere before biding ends I bought the Asus A7V8X-X (with an X on the end) a couple of years ago. Don't know what the LA HP part is though. Too bad there wasn't time before the bidding ended for you to ask the seller. KC |

Too bad there wasn't time before the bidding ended for you to ask the seller. KC Asus makes OEM boards for HP. A board like that, ending in the letters "LA", could be an OEM board. You can use the HP search engine, to bring up the web page with a picture of the motherboard on it. I notice there are a couple HP web pages matching that part number. The chipset is different than an A7V8X - it uses KM400A, which has built-in graphics, and that isn't something you'd find on an A7V8X or an A7V8X-X. It also only has room for two sticks of RAM. The FSB supports FSB400, and DRAM goes to DDR333. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN Asus may make them, but support comes from HP. If you want a BIOS update, it comes from HP. There are slight design differences in the boards made for HP. There might be a different Super I/O controller, and different fan control features. There might not be features to support overclocking. And the PANEL header may not have standard pin spacing on the various cables. (And for that matter, you'd have the joy of figuring out the pinout. Is there a manual ? Not on the Asus site of course.) It would probably work fine for ordinary usage. If you were clever enough to figure out which pins to connect the power switch to. Paul |
