I have a Abit KT7A Raid Mainboard,(not installed) I ordered a AMD 1.0Ghz Thunderbird chip,But I think I got a AMD Athlon chip.Are these the same?If not will the Athlon work with my KT7A Raid mainboard.Already had it installed together,but had many errors including no boot ups sometimes,errors when downloading games etc.. from cd's such as "Fatal exceptions"Access,"exception occured" at diff. areas. cannot find file something.dll,It also wouldnt load windows 2nd addition.I had a good tech check it out and he determined the Header was bad in the mainboard.All other stuff checked out good Memerory, drives etc...So Im not sure if the mainboard and chip are compatiable.

Since your chip is already installed and system is being used you have answered your own question. The other Athlon is a slot type and will not install on the KT7A. I have a KT7 Raid with 900 TBird, had a few minor problems in setup, no problems nowand I really like the board.

Also, in order to solve any other problems you may be having I would need a lot more information. KT7 or KT7A boards seem to take a little time to setup properly. They definitely are not for anyone that doesn't have patience. You will find some that have had no problems on setup at all but for the most part problems are encountered.

Email me with problems you are having (if you want to) and I will see what I can do to help.
