General Comments
According to most reviews and benchmarks the GA-7VRX motherboard fron Gigabyte is the best KT333 board around and I tend to agree. The only problem I had is it was incompatible with Samsung PC 2700 RAM and unless you buy high end memory like OCZ or Corsair, it will only work with Nanya consistently. That means that if you want to run it for performance you'll need to buy RAM that's expensive. Still, it performs as well or better than most KT400 boards and utterly destroys all other KT333 boards.

I agree that the GA-7VRX motherbaoard is a great board. This is my second Gigabyte board. As far as the Samsung DDR 2700 goes; I am using 768MB of Samsung original Ram without any problems. Maybe you need to update your bios.
