Abit KG7-RAID

This mobo has given me sterling service and has never let me down. It is in CONSTANT use and is rarely turned off. I originally used a 1GB CPU but then flashed the bios and fitted a 2 GB CPU. It has 512mb of DDR 2100 and goes like the clappers. I found that it hated Windows 98 and ME which had bad stability problems (typical windows) but when I installed XP PRO I found that it was very stable. Even all drivers are on it including the RAID drivers. I have never overclocked it has I dont like the thought of frying it. It is fitted with a TNT2 32mb video card and a soundblaster 5.1 Live plus a NIC card. The Modem is an external Hayes Accura 56k dialup model. I use ...  Read the complete review

Running some SiSoft Sandra benchmarking showed that my motherboard and PC-133 memory was lagging behind my processor (Athlon 1.2ghz 266fsb) and graphics card (Leadtek Geforce 2 Ultra): it wasn't doing these components justice. Also, I had been having major stability problems with the Via chipset on the KT-7A (latest Nvidia Detonator XP drivers on Geforce 2 ...  Read the complete review

I have recently replaced my old Gigabyte BX2000 motherboard with the Abit KG7-Raid. I was after performance and darned out outright speed, and I am so glad I choose this board. It can nicely packed with a very good manual and two UDMA 100 cables, an extra long floppy cable, USB header (for the extra two USB ports, it has four) and the drivers CD. It was very easy to install but as it was wider than my existing board I had to buy a full tower case, as the CD copier wouldn’t fit, as it hit the DDR ram. The reason I choose this board was its 4 DDR slots and its 6 PCI slots and none of those AMR/CNR slots that nobody uses. I have read that these boards have ...  Read the complete review
