Iwill BD133 i815EP Motherboard Review

Hardware-One has posted another review. This time on the Iwill BD133 i815EP motherboard.
Now, let´s consider the i815EP chipset. Without integrated video and bearing a lower cost, the i815EP chipset motherboards have been a popular choice for most above average users - especially gamers who still believe in Intel. Hence, when the first few brands of the i815EP motherboards entered the local market, I rushed out without hesitation and duly purchased a MSI 815EP Pro-R. I was particularly attracted by its additional onboard RAID facility.
Having used it for 3 months, I realized that the "non-option" of disabling the RAID detect (when not in use) would prolong boot-up time. To me, this was unacceptable, having have to go wait longer for each bootup session. I regretted deeply, and wished I had never bought it in the first place. Ever since, I have been looking for a replacement.
