VR Zone Give ABIT KD7-RAID "Editor's Choice" Award


Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. January 23rd, 2003- Recently VR Zone (Virtual Zone) Hardware gave the ABIT KD7-RAID their Editor's Choice Award, after comparing it to other boards.

"Over the last few years, ABIT has been a company that has indeed been living in the fast lane. They have come out with many innovative products like legacy free motherboard and OTES graphics card in the past year, and have gained many enthusiasts' respect for their great overclocking ability."
"Among the latest additions to the ABIT product line is the KD7-Raid, a VIA KT400 chipset based motherboard geared of course to the computer hardware enthusiast. Packed with features like SoftMenu III, and support for DDR-400, AGP 8X, and ABIT's own H.T.P (Hardware Thermal Protection) the ABIT KD7-Raid looks very promising on paper."

"ABIT has definitely lived up to its reputation this time around with the KD7-Raid. With a very cost-effective KT400 solution, the KD7-Raid is perfect for the enthusiast looking for a Raid 0, Raid 1, or Raid 0+1 array as well as AGP 8X and DDR 400 support. With a total of four memory slots and six PCI slots, the KD7-Raid will grow with you as you upgrade and maintain your system."

"The performance of the KD7-Raid was admirable, performing faster than the competition in most benchmarks. Overclocking the board is where we saw the KD7-Raid shine, allowing us to get all the way up to 209fsb on a 11.5x multiplier, of course due to ABIT's own SoftMenu BIOS."

"Stability was not a concern when using the board, only when we got above 210 FSB we started seeing glitches in Windows, therefore we chose a safer 209 FSB to run the benchmarks on."

"Lacking on the KD7-Raid are features, more of which I think should have been included in the package of the board. With no support for Serial ATA and no Firewire ports, some enthusiasts may be turned away, but those features can be found in the ABIT MAX series of motherboards."

"In addition, their KD7 series also comes with KD7 regular, essentially the KD7-Raid without the Raid, KD7-S (serial ATA) and KD7-G (Gigabit LAN) for different customers' needs and the diversity of different market need. The prices on these range from $99.00 USD - $149.00 USD, making true the old adage, you get what you pay for."

"Concluding, the ABIT KD7-Raid motherboard is without a doubt a great performing motherboard. Combining the best overclock I've ever encountered with a KT400 motherboard with unparallel performance and unmatched expandability, the KD7-Raid is definitely a board to look out for."
