(Post a comment) » Abit's KA7 Athlon motherboardAbit has released their long awaited
Athlon board, the KA7. This board is designed to support Slot-A Processors
using the VIA KX133/686A chipset. It also supports all normal
industry standard functions for motherboards such as Advanced Configuration and
Power Management Interface (ACPI) and AGP 2X/4X.. The KA7 uses four 168-pin DIMM
sockets supporting PC100/PC133 SDRAM modules up to 2GB.
SoftMenu III -- the most attractive Abit feature yet from the BE6-II and BF6
-- has found its way into this latest motherboard. SoftMenu III allows a huge
amount of performance tweaking with the ability to manually specify a FSB speed
from 100MHz to 183MHz in increments of 1, for a total of 84 settings.
The KA7 has 6 PCI slots and 1 ISA slot, as well as 2 USB ports PLUS an extra
header for 2 extra USB channels. We'll have more hands-on information on this
new motherboard soon. |  Previous news article | Back to main news | Next news article  |

Egads! Stay the h3|| away from AladdinV-based SS7 boards. I've been
suffering with one for a year, and everything that could be
completely screwed up by that chipset has been. AGP2X? Screwed.
nVidia cards until VERY recently? HAHAHA screwed! Win2000? [maniacal
cackle] DREAM ON!

Heheh, don't be too hard on Abit. They are, after all, probably the
biggest profitter from BX chipsets. While they're eating that pie,
they're probably tossing a mean glare at Intel. (But, only when
Intel's back is turned of course) =)

Talk bout a Chip making it's creditablity grow.. Remember that it
was only early
last year that Abit was laughing at FIC for supporting the AMD 's
new flagship..
Now it looks like that the issues with Intel and the high
volume of publications pointing out the trouble with Rambus
Memory, Abit is quietly in the lunchroom eating it's words..
Hope the humble pie tastes good.. LOL

Scratch what I just posted (#36). Looking a TC Computer's website,
DFI, FIC, Soyo, and Tyan all make AT boards with AGP slots. Kind of
makes me wonder how hard #10 looked around before he/she posted...

I've got an Asus P5A-B, and I really can't recommend it. I've run
the same processor/RAM/hard drive on both a P5A-B and a P5A (which
is basically the same board except it's ATX), and it just seemed
slow. I have no idea why. Damaged in shipping, maybe. The P5A with a
500mhz K6-2 screamed compared to the P5A-B. But if '#10' wants an
AT/Super7/AGP board, I don't know how many other choices he'll have.

Soyo boards are almost exactly comparable to Abit boards --they have
voltage adjustment and a whole host of FSB speeds. What you go with
just depends on personal preference. I've used lots of Soyo and Abit
boards, and I love both... if I had to choose, I'd probably pick
Soyo simply because they're a bit cheaper :).

if "speeds" are progressing through technological
advancements and breakthroughs, and developers of both hardware and
software are trying to tie lose ends in industry standards,
operation overheads and legal issues.......why question whats good
or bad in a basic system setup? we are all dependent on technology
afterall in some way... its a consequence that has no
answer...period!
