Abit KA7-100
Newest Review: ... into his machine. They worked fine. Now I was suspicious of the motherboard, the Abit KA-7, being faulty. After searching ... more  ... the web, I found lots of forums and newsgroups, all disucssing the reliability of both the Abit KA7, and KA7-100 motherboard. The symptoms were identical to mine. The cause is that the capacitors are of a low quality, and start to break down. The capacitors are componets that are actually soldered onto the motherboard, and there are a lot of them. When I looked closely at my motherboard, the capacitors are starting to melt, and there is black gunk, a bit like tar, underneath them, on the motherboard itself. No I ...moreMore Abit motherboards

Abit KA7-100: reliability is a problem (770 words)

Technically, this is one of the best of the old AMD Athlon slot-A motherboards. This is confirmed by the other reviews on this site, and also from some of the hardware review sites out there on the web. Abit have generally built motherboards for enthusiasts, and for several years, I have had an Abit BP6 motherboard, which is the only motherboard capible of running dual celeron processors. Something that Intel said was impossible. Some users had bad experiences with the BP6, I did not. So when Abit bought out their Athlon solution, with the KA7, and then followed with the KA7-100, it was the top of my list. When the positive reviews started to appear, ...
Lovely board but old architecture (265 words)

This is one of ABIT's older offerings, being a motherboard for the original Athlons (i.e. in slot format and not the socket Thunderbirds). This has all the specs on it's side and in my experiance is a very solid, stable and good performing motherboard. This board is based on the hugely successful VIA KX133 chipset, which has largely dominated the Athlon boards. As expected it has all the advanced chipset options, supporting both PC100 and PC133. There is plenty of scope for upgrade with this board. As i've already said there is support for PC100 and 133 SDRAM upto a maximum of 2 Gb of memory. There is an AGP slot supporting AGP 2x ...
Abit KA7-100: The best of the 'old' Athlon boards (1088 words)

Abit’s KA7-100 is based on VIA’s KX133 chipset. The KX133 is now old news; it was designed to work with AMD’s old-style Slot A Athlon processors and is incompatible with the newer Socket A (Socket 462) Athlons. If anyone were to buy a new motherboard today it would not be this one. However, I’m not going to focus too much on this but more on why if I had to choose and upgrade board for my Slot A system or a second-hand system, I would choose this one. In terms of processor support, the KA7-100 supports every Athlon that was ever made in the Slot A format. This includes Athlons from their start at around 550 MHz to the Athlon 1GHz, the ...
