Manufacturer: Abit Product:
KG7-RAID Socket A Motherboard
-
Stable
– Despite being combined with a VIA chipset this
Motherboard was relatively trouble free. No noticeable
crackling with Soundcards either.
-
Onboard
ATA 100 IDE RAID controller. This also can be used to
provide connectivity for normal IDE devices as well,
e.g. DVD Drive, etc.
-
Fast
performance provided by support for DDR RAM, Athlon XP
CPUs and ATA 100 RAID array.
-
ATA
100 support.
-
Excellent
BIOS features & options. Almost everything can be
configured here in some way & overclocking is simple
with SoftMenu 3.
-
Great
manual as you can always expect from Abit.
-
Expect prices to
be lowered with availability of KT266A Chipset based
motherboards.
Although
released (& received ;)) a bit late the Abit KG7 RAID is
yet another feather in Abit’s oversized hat. Featuring
support for all modern technology you could want – ATA 100
IDE RAID, AGP 4, DDR RAM & of course AMD Duron, Athlon
& XP CPUs. It at all runs very stably on Windows XP as
well. Perhaps this’ll make a nice stocking filling for
someone this Christmas. If you can afford it though then it
would be worth looking further into KT266A based
Motherboards which offer improved performance (Based on most
reviews I’ve seen) on perhaps even an NVIDIA nForce
Motherboard.
