Phillip has had some trouble with Gigabyte's GA-7VRXP (KT333) motherboard and a GF4 video card.. he's sniffed around and it seems he's not alone, with similar experiences reported here, here, here and here. Dissapointing, because I've had no problem with Gigabyte's AMD761+686B (GA-7DXR) and KT266A (GA-7VTXE), both of which I've used extensively as testbeds for reviews (including GF4 reviews) over the last few months. There's mixed opinions here in our AMD Hardware forum, including some strong and vocal support for the board - but also info apparently from Gigabyte saying that 1/5 and 1/6 PCI divisors are not supported on that board.
