Hey, I hear there is a new Abit KT7A revision 2 that allows you to hit FSB speeds of 180+. Anyone have any info on where I can order this new revision? Or any info on it in general?

Thanks

Why would you wanna run at 183MHz FSB? Unless they implement a 1/5 PCI divider, your putting your PCI devices ard hard drives in danger.

I have a Abit KT7A board due to arrive tomorrow, so I've been keep an ear out for this supposed Rev. 2. However, upon re-reading the article I keyed in on this :



<<
So here it is, the KT7A rev2 review. No, there are no hardware changes on the board, and Abit won't tell you anything's different officially, but trust me, a lot has changed.

It's obvious VIA is getting better yields on their KT133A Northbridges. It may be due to finer Silicon, a cleaner clean room, or simply improved manufacturing techniques. One thing is certain, these suckers sure can overclock.

There isn't a revision two. It's simply what the author is calling it as far as I can tell. I don't see how you would ever be able to tell, because Abit is still labling them the same -other than buying 10 of them and testing each one and keeping the best OC board.
