[plug] upgrading to Duron

[Simon Scott]

	If its the same board I had, the FSB is stuck at 106Mhz maximum no
matter what you do... after that it falls in a impressive heap

	Kinda sucks, unless you dont care

	Why is it crap?? I bought a MSI K7T Pro2 a while ago, and it's the
most
	impressive board I've bought (although the Abit BP6 has its coolness
too). I've
	had no technical problems at all, and performance is fine, layout is
good, and
	I've had no Power Management problems. Both Windows and Linux run
fine on it.
	I know friends who have the MSI K7T Pro2A, and they've also had no
problems -
	after patching to the latest BIOS.

	RAM is dirt cheap all 'round at the moment.
