Features

Here is a list of features that the KA-11 has. This is the official feature list from FIC's site. One of the major features the KA-11 does well is its feature rich BIOS. When you enter the BIOS, be prepared for a whole slew of options available at your fingertips.

This may be intimidating to some "BIOS fearing" people, but for the many tweakers out there, this may just be the motherboard to consider. Another great feature included with the FIC KA-11 is the option to select different memory speeds at various front side bus speeds.

There are three options to choose from: +33MHz, -33MHz or 1/1 with FSB. For example, if you wanted to run a 100MHz bus CPU with greater memory performance, you would choose the +33MHz option to make the memory run at 133MHz.

Another example would be for a -33MHz at 150MHz to get a memory frequency of 117MHz.  This option is great for those people who want to run at high bus speeds with lower quality memory.  Sadly though, this option had no effect on my instability with the board at high bus speeds.
