What's the fastest Slot A board?

[Sharptooth]

I just got a "Classic" Athlon 800 Slot A processor and would like to get the fastest board available for it.

KA7 or KA7-100 depending on your needs...

But might wanna think about spending 100 dollars for a new 800 tbird or duron, and selling the slot A athlon...

That is what I was thinkig of... The KA7 wasn't really comparible to the boards now a days...

Asus A7V was the other board... But at those days AnandTech was impressed by Abit... ASUS always used to be more stable and everything... But Abit surprised...

But stability wasn't that good (fall 2000) like you would expect it to be today...

I had the KA7, a 700 Athlon and a leufken GFD that gave me 200 MHz.. but what sucked was the FSB 107 at the most...

Anand was a good resource for the slot A generation... I really liked them and still do...

The K7 Pro is faster than the KA7. I should know owned both boards. I actually owned the KA7 100. You can overclock more on the KA7 100 or regular KA7 because of the ability to change cache speed which worked perfect. But for just sheer speed the K7 Pro is faster and pretty darn stable. All the memory tweaks you can use . The K7 Pro can also run slot A Tbirds. If you go K7 Pro just make sure to get one with Stepping 6 superbypass capable. I liked it so much I sold the KA7 100 and kept the K7 Pro, enuff said.

It all depends if you wanna overclock or not... if so i would get the Abit... If not and you just want a stable board classy might be right...

experience counts most the time...

I owned a Abit KA7-100 and and Asus K7V. The Asus board was far superior.
