Just spotted two new entries over at my favorite indiscrete mail order company, http://www.dabs.com:

ABIT KT7
Ordered Upon Request
£98.00 (£115.15 inc VAT)

ABIT KT7-100
Ordered Upon Request
£110.00 (£129.25 inc VAT)

An ABIT KT133 board! If anyone's going to produce the first Socket A overclockers board, it's probably going to them. I'm almost tempted to buy one, except I ... er ... don't need one. Well, can't justify one anyway ...
 
Sounds cool, I'm on my way to Abit's web site right now. I hope you can bypass the multiplier lock on Duron/T-Bird CPUs like you could on the A7V.
 
I think thats a misprint.Abit offers the KA7 and KA7-100 at Abits site that I see. No mention of KT7.Can you offer up more proof?🙁
 
I didn't see anything on Abit's site either. I'm sure they will offer a KT133 solution in the near future. Maybe they just haven't made the press release yet.
 
I also notice that,btw they have the Gigabyte GA-7ZM SoA VIA KT133 MATX
Mfr code: GA-7ZM
1-2 weeks
£97.52 inc vat

So looks like socketA out real soon.
 
Lets hope the Abit Socket-A board allows the user to jack the voltage above 1.85 volts. That was the limitation keeping the thunderbird from going above 1.1GHz.

As far as oc'ing is concerned it seems Epox and Asus have already beat Abit to the punch.

Note the blue dip switches in the middle of the board, many have
conjectured, but I have yet to confirm that they are clock multiplier
setting regulators, it's quite a few of them, 12 switches so one is
hard pressed to believe that all those switches are used to let say just control FSB, I wager that they have more functionality.

Asus has sinced removed the jumpers that were present on Tom's Pre-release board that regulated clock multiplier settings, however, rumor has it that this functionality has been moved to the bios menu. Making changing your clock multiplier even easier.
 
Nope, they're KT133 boards. They're listed seperately to the KX133 boards:

Old:

SlA VIA KX133 ATX
Mfr code: KA7
Quicklinx: M4KWS

SlA VIA KX133 ATX
Mfr code: KA7-100
Quicklinx: M4LWS

New:

SoA VIA KT133 ATX
Mfr code: KT7-100
Quicklinx: P02WS

SoA VIA KT133 ATX
Mfr code: KT7
Quicklinx: P01WS
 
I have a friend getting the Epox Socket-A board. We will soon see if it has multiplier adjustment!
 
I am probably going to get the Abit from Dabs, they only have 3-4 days now, although, I think that is wrong
