K7T Turbo

[UNCjigga]

Has anyone managed to get their hands on an MSI K7T Turbo yet? Does anyone know if the boards are being manufactured for retail sale now or if they are in transit to resellers? I've been holding on building a new system for awhile now because I'm waiting for this kt133a based board (successor to the Pro2A no doubt.)
If anyone has seen this board or benchmarks please let me know!

Here is the system I'm building:

MicroStar K7T Pro2A/Turbo
AMD Thunderbird 850
Micron 256MB PC133
IBM 75GXP 30GB
Toshiba 12x DVD
Leadtek MX DH Pro
SoundBlaster Live! Value Digital
3com 10/100 PCI NIC
Generic Lucent LT chipset winmodem
Agilent Arcticooler CPU fan
Enlight 7237-300w
Sony 3.5" 1.44MB

So far my total shipped cost is a few cents over $815 (buyin from unitedmicro.com, beatprice.com and jazztechnology.com--plz let me know what you think of these vendors even though this may not be the right forum to discuss this!)

[broadwayblue]

[stultus]

I'm waiting, too. What's the price on these supposed to be? I head in the $170 range, but that's not been confirmed.

uncJIGGA - I'd be interested to know what you're getting from which place. PM or email me!

any know of any reviews about it? i guess ill just tease myself more by reading about it

 

[vm]

Haven't seen a review on the MSI yet..i'd be curious to know about some too!

 

[copperdude]

Many people say that they have read "something" about Turbo's releasing date. Does anybody has to say something more specific?

 

[jimmygates]

I have my dialing finger on the pad so I can get these boards first. Don't worry, if it comes out, I'll get them


I managed to get 10 KT7A RAID boards so I hope I can get 10 MSI K7T Turbo's

jimmygates,

How do you like your Abit boards? I'm getting real tired of waiting for the Turbo and I'm about to order the Abit. From what I've heard, Abit has a great product. What's your experience? Had you considered any of the other KT133A boards, like epox and soltek?

 

[jimmygates]

Didn't even consider Soltek or Epox. I have to admit that Abit's original KT7 RAID has it's ups and downs but once I fixed all of the problems, setting up the KT7A was easy. KT7A is basically the same board w/ 133 FSB and native ATA-100. Everything (Even the BIOS rev..) else is almost the same. It's a great board and I'm looking forward to what MSI can offer to challenge Abit
