Overclockers Online has posted a review on the AOpen AK77-333, which is based upon VIA's KT333 chipset.



The AOpen AK77-333 is built around the VIA KT333 northbridge and the VIA VT8233A southbridge. This means that the board will take on any socket A processor currently available. Of course the board supports UDMA133 on both IDE channels and comes with 1 AGP slot, 5 PCI slots and 1 CNR (CommuNication Riser slot) to assure full expandability. Personally I would have like it better to see a 1/6/0 configuration, but since AOpen tends to target the OEM market with their boards as well, I can see why they included a CNR slot instead of the 6th PCI slot. Memory expansion shouldn't be a problem either, as the AK77-333 features three memory slots, for a total support of 3GB DDR 266/333 memory.
