Abit KT7-RAID Reviews

I read alot of reviews before I went out and bought this board. Most of them were good, and I have to say I agree with them. When I bought the board, I got an AMD 1.2Ghz running on a 100Mhz bus.

I purchased this motherboard in November last year, realising that my k6-2-350 and pc chips motherboard just didn’t cut it with the more demanding 3D computer games cropping up.

Most of the time upgrading your moherboard and processor involves junkinghalf yhe components in your PC - they're too old, too slow and often just incompatible. Last time around, half of us had to junk our 66mHz memory in favour of PC100 sticks and cough up for a new graphics card. Funnily enough, provided you do have PC100 memory - ...  Read the complete review

This motherboard in my opinion, is the best possible choice that anyone can make when they are looking for a solution for Socket A Athlon and Duron processors.

Be aware that you need 2 hard disks ...  Read the complete review
