Abit KA7-100

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, ...  Read the complete review

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).

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 ...  Read the complete review

Extras now included support up to 8 ide devices. which use the ultra ata/100, or ultra DMA/100, is the extension of the ultra ata/66 interface.
