ABIT KT7A @ 145 FSB!

[Technonut]

I just received an ABIT KT7A RAID mobo, and so far I am very pleased. No installation problems, painless setup, and very fast.

I am currently running an 1100 T-Bird underclocked to 800 to bring the FSB up to 145MHz, which gives a DDR of 290.39 , with the T-Bird at 1161MHz. So far very stable in looping 3DMark2000, and playing Q3A. I will post Sandra benchmark screenshots later.

EDIT: Everything works, including insert key reset, USB ports, with hub, modem, scanner, printer, and digital camera working well.

EDIT: Memory settings have been tweaked a little more 🙂

That board is the best glad to hear your off to good start. I was thinking about waiting for the MSI turbo just to try it out but I think is dosent get much better than the KT7A if the Memorey Bandwith is as bad on the Turbo as it is on the Pro2A Then MSI wont touch the Abit.
