Abit has announced the BX-133 RAID motherboard. Thanks Overclocker´s Workbench



Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. Wednesday, June 30th, 2000For nearly two years, the name ABIT has been synonymous with the best in BX chipset motherboards. Now ABIT is proud to announce the final and best model in this popular series: the BX-133 RAID. The BX-133 RAID is an ATX mainboard designed for use with Celeron/Coppermine FC-PGA CPUs, features Soft Menu III technology, and offers a feature never before seen on any other BX board: ATA/100 with RAID!

BX Flip-Chip
The layout of the BX-133 RAID is similar to ABIT's other top-of-the-line model, the BE6-II. There are three 168-pin DIMM sockets for support of SDRAM modules for a maximum of 768 MB of memory. There are also 1 AGP slot, 5 PCI slots and 1 ISA slot. The difference that is most immediately noticeable is the 370-pin Flip-Chip socket for past, present, and future Intel CPUs.

True Hardware RAID Plus ATA/100
The BX-133 RAID on board controller provides two IDE hard drive connectors that support the latest Ultra ATA/100 (Also known as Ultra DMA/100) hard drives with the data transfer rate of 100MB/sec. It is also backward compatible with Ultra ATA/66, Ultra ATA/33, Enhanced IDE, and Fast ATA-2
