Yep, looks like a good board. I must admit though, I'm still potentially interested in the Asus AV133 board. It features RAID 0 and all the BIOS overclocking etc, and it's less expensive as well. I've only ever had good experience with ASUS boards as well, so I'm not discounting them from my next update just yet

 

[Bigdude]

This will be my next board. I just have to sell everything in my closet to get it.

 

[whalen]

I'll be sitting next to my computer all day, refreshing the pricewatch page...

Sounds like a good board to me...now to wait for Asus' and compare

altho I'd love to see a review on the MSI K7T turbo too

 

[Chloraseptic]

I like the fact that they said no HSF's would NOT fit the board. Nice to see the Abit's bois changed that

Humm, I am not all that impressed with it. I am running (108+33%) 144MHz FSB on my MSI K7T Pro2A right now, and I expected the KT133A to offer more than what it does.

 

[Antisocial Virge]

No need to sell everything. Not too expensive

[AMD4ME2]

anyone ever deal with ajump before? I find nothing at reselleratings or bizrate... damn it.. my better judgement is kicking in on this.. I can't make myself click "purchase" I guess cause I know money is in short supply..

 

[Mustanggt]

I have never heard of them AMD4ME2. Once the DDR boards hit the shelfs the prices on these Kt133A boards should drop a little I would think.

I don't want to wait 2 weeks more just for a $10 decrease or so..I WANT EM NOW

 

[rarebear]

I just ordered one at Ajump with 2 day delivery I hope they are on the up and up...

I wanted the MSI Turbo but could wait on my new sys..
You should see the MSI Turbo online tomorrow now that I order the Abit...
hehehe That is how my luck is...

Wish me luck at Ajump

 

[vm]

@$$$#!! jerks

 

[Insane3D]

I just ordered one two day as well...we shall see...

Tbird 1.2ghz at 150FSB....*drool*

 

[bhess]

I'm slowly putting together a system now. I plan on a t-bird 850 and overclock it. Is it worth the extra $30 or so for this board over the standard Kt7 raid?
Correct me if I'm wrong, the big difference is that you can get a higher FSB. This would mean a performace increase right? I.E. 6.5 x 133 =864.5 is better than 8.5 x 100= 850.
Also can you run pc100 ram at 100 with the fsb higher?
TIA
