I want this board because after ordering everthing to go with it: AMD 2600
CPU, AGP 8X graphics card, I-Panel, DDR 400 memory and Wireless network
card. I was well peeved to receive the -X model instead.
Rendering the Graphics card (£50) I_panel (£20) wireless network card and
possibly memory, useless with the cheap budget version.

I also liked the idea of the Post Reporter and the review of it at this site
http://www.hexus.net/print.php?review=460&page=1
made me even more determined to get it.

Well ebuyer have refused to enter into discussion over the two boards they
offer. Making me think that they either havent got a clue themselves or are
simply going to pass off a -X version.

The search continues.....



Thank you for all your help folks.

ok, so I found some used ones on ebuyer, thanks again bweebar, but which
of
the two ive found is the one with the I-panel connector?
One is A7V8X and the other is A7V8XL (MPN 90-M7A61A-WOEAY)
Now to my knowledge both have LAN. (ethernet socket)
Searching for MPN's are a waste of time with Zero results.

IIRC there were three options originally (not including the X, MX,
whatever versions):
A7V8X
A7V8X + SATA
A7V8X + SATA + Gigabit LAN

Audio, 10/100 LAN and firewire were the other options though all the
ones I looked at at the time had them. I assume the "L" version on
ebuyer is the first one (no SATA, no Gigabit LAN) but that doesn't
explain why it's the more expensive of the two. I think that all
versions have the iPanel connector, someone please correct me if this
is not the case.

Out of curiosity, why does it have to be an A7V8X?
