Abit KT7A-Raid or MSI K7T Pro2A??

[mustang659ut]

I am looking for a mobo that suppoorts the AMD at 133 FSB. I have been unable to find out if the MSI board will support 8 IDE channels like the Abit. Can anyone advise?? Also does the MSI oc like the Abit??

The Pro2a from MSI does not use the KT133A chipset so no 133Mhz bus speed. It can only support 4 devices. The MSI overclocks very well for what it is.

The Abit has the KT133A which will allow 133Mhz bus speeds and overclocks anywhere from 147-155 or higher??

The MSI board you should be looking at with the KT133A chipset is the K7T Turbo, which has a built in raid controller like the Abit. The MSI uses the promise controller which some people think is better than the highpoint on the Abit.
