Abit Kr7A question

[Medea]

I'm getting ready to build another one to replace an old workhorse, so I've been looking at different mobos.

I've got an Abit in this rig and never had any problems. Abit's Soft Bios is another nice feature that I've become accustomed to.

I've been looking at the Soyo Dragon+ because of the nice onboard audio and LAN card, but I've also read problems about initial setups - although they seem to be BIOS-version related.

The other point about the Soyo I like is that you can have either 2 IDE/2 RAID's or 4 IDE's.

Does anyone know if the Abit Kr7A allows for 4 IDE's, or is it just a 2 & 2 setup?

Yes. It'll do 4IDE or 2IDE and 2 RAID. Only if you buy the KR7A-RAID of course.

Shin-Sa -

Thanks. Now, after just reading previews of NVidia's new board, I've got another factor in the mix - gotta see how this board performs.
