KT133A Reviews

[etech]

I thought it would be a good idea to collect all of the different reviews of motherboards based on the KT133A chipset. Please feel free to post any that you find and I will try and collect them all in this post. I'm still on slow dial-up and may have missed some good reviews. I'm hoping this will be a good resource to find reviews and new review sites.

Thank guys, I'm going to try and consolidate all into this post as I have time. Full credit and thanks for the new links. I saw a few new sites I hadn't seen before.

I would like to Know where Anands review of the MSI turbo is?? This was in the works on Jan 21 when he finished the KT7A review.

 

[Pyro]

hopefully we will see it soon. And hopefully it will get a 9.0 and beat the Abit (which looks really good btw)

Get up there Bump

 

[Donuts]

Ah, Tolken, The only 4 books I ever finished. Can't wait for the movie, and a bump!

 

[Simulat]

Some site called Anandtech has a review of the MSI board, not sure if they give reliable reviews. Heres the link:

[Technonut]

Donuts, OT, but since you have read the 4 Tolkien books you spoke of, another &quot;must read&quot; is &quot;The Silmarillion&quot; by Tolkien. It was published after his death, and was worked on during his lifetime. It goes back to the legends and characters of the olden times spoken of in &quot;Lord of the Rings&quot;.

Thanks for the thread etech and those that contribute, very helpful.

That A7V133 review is so damned bad, the reviewer is a moron. I own a A7V and A7V133 and my A7V does NOT outperform my A7V133 LOL that review is very poor. Toms shows the abit and asus are about dead even in performance.... that GamePC review is just awful. Im 99% sure he left System Performance in the BIOS at normal instead of optimal.

 

[DonS]

Dulanic

I would agree. Looking through the manual pdf it looks like the optimal setting tweaks the memory system pretty good. It didn't weigh too heavily on my decision to order the A7V133. Hopefully it's here when I get back from my trip.

 

[SaturnX]

The GamePC review is awful... first off he states that eh A7V133 can support RAID 0,1, 0+1
However according to Asus, the onboard only supports RAID 0 (this is all I need so that's why I'm buying it, also becuase of stability, features etc.)

This just shows how little the reviewer knows about the board. (Aside from the many other errors in the review)

[etech]

Still adding to the reviews list. I'm sure there are more out there.
