Hello,

It would help to say what OS you plan on using. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.amd.com" target="_blank">www.amd.com</a> has most of
the drivers your need (if you click on drivers/chipsets).

Also <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.msi.com.tw" target="_blank">www.msi.com.tw</a> has drivers for the on-board Ethernet (if you get
that option) and the AMD AC'97 sound link.

The motherboard will accept the MP2800s also. I suggest you get the
boxed processors (the ones that come with a 3-year warranty and include
the CPU).

You should use registered, ECC, PC2100 DDR memory. I suggest you use a
real name brand like Kingston or PNY (people have had problems with
Crucial, so you might want to stay away from them on this one). Most
ECC/Registered modules only come in CAS2.5, but it really doesn't affect
performance that much vs CAS2.

I don't think you'll have any problems with a GeForce3, I am using a
GeForce4 Ti4600 without issues.

Good luck.

If the card is made for PCI 3.3v, or 5v/3.3v, then yes. However, most
PCI cards are 32-bit/5v.

If you can get a glimpse of the picture of the card you want to get,
compare it to the USB 2.0 card that comes with the "L" model of K7D
Master: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/13-130-346-04.JPG." target="_blank">http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/13-130-346-04.JPG.</a>

Note the 2 notches. This board can be used in 64-bit or 32-bit slot.
But I think it only works in 32-bit mode even in the 64-bit slot.
