The Tech Report has posted a review on the Abit KT7A-RAID motherboard.



As you can see, the KT7A-RAID is just packed with goodness. Notable features include a whopping half-dozen PCI slots, support for 512MB DIMMs (and thus a capacity of 1.5 gigs of RAM), and Highpoint´s IDE RAID controller in addition to the standard ATA-100 controller, for a total of up to eight IDE devices. They even throw in a token ISA slot in case you still have need of a legacy card.

The selection of bus speeds is also worth a second look, not only because the board allows you to set speeds up to an eye-popping 183MHz, but because of the official support for a 133MHz bus. The 133MHz bus support, of course, is what puts the A in both the KT7A-RAID and its KT133A chipset. It´s there to support the newer "C" Athlons that are sold to run on a 133MHz bus, but that doesn´t mean we can´t whip out the pencil and have some 133MHz fun overclocking the older "B" (100MHz) chips.
