Great result with the Thunderbird CPU!

Gave up on getting the nf7 2.0!for now.

Setting up the EPOX EP-8VTAI (later renamed to 8KRAI Pro). The chipset is AMD KT880. BIOS is weird and I will probably see if I can mod it to at least unlock hidden features.

The Socket A boards with VIA chipsets also use romSIP tables in the BIOS like the NF2 boards. So in theory, you can swap to faster SIPs. I guess it depends what table the BIOS use.
The tables are in the main BIOS at offset 74000h.

I tested different SIP tables with my ASUS KT600 board in the past. Faster SIPs reduce OC FSB speed, though.
