Do any of the KT133A chipset mobos come with a BIOS that supports enabling 4-way memory-bank interleaving?

I don't want to "hack it" if I don't have to.

According to TweakTown's review and benchmark result Although they didn't mention it, I think MSI K7T-Turbo R enables 4-way Interleaving by default.

"...MSI's extra memory setting in the BIOS seem to be the reason for this"
"MSI's more tweaked memory helps its gain an advantage in this test..."

Dulanic... Thanks for the update! The A7V133 is the KT133A board that I prefer, so I'm glad to hear it's BIOS supports 4-way interleaving.

Btw, did your board come with RAID? Seems like some do and some don't!:confused:

NucleusWDS... Cool website! Also very nice reviews of those mobos, however I didn't see mention of 4-way interleaving enabling capability under "System BIOS and Functions" in either review.

Dulanic... I think I asked you that A7V133 RAID question in another thread. Sorry about that, us senior guys have our senior moments!

Senior Guy: The A7V133 Comes in both RAID, and non RAID versions, thats why you have probably seen both. I'm just waiting the A7V133 to make it's way up to Canada so I can buy it ;)

The Epox 8KTA3 has BIOS settings to switch between 4-way, 2-way, or no interleaving.

Has anyone who's enabled 4-way interleaving in their bios NOT gotten noticeably improved performance?

Tharyn... If RAID is indeed an option with the A7V133, there should be some kind of distinction in the model no. (e.g., "A7V133-R"), so you know for sure which version you are buying!
