Specifications

As we mentioned before, the Trinity K7 is based on the KX133 chipset. This gives the 2380 AGP 4X compliance, and full support for 133MHz memory. Here are the rest of the Trinity K7's features:

Specifications

AMD Athlon™ 500 MHz to 1 GHz
200 MHz Front Side Bus
Auto-detect Processor Voltage

One thing we like about the 2380 is its 6 PCI slots. Besides Tyan, Abit's KA7 is the only motherboard we're aware of with this feature. We also agree with Tyan's decision to leave the AMR slot where it belongs: in thin air.
