KR7A-RAID Wins AnandTech's KT266A Roundup!

Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. Monday, January 21st, 2002- AnandTech has managed to do one of the most comprehensive motherboard roundups in recent history, this time with boards based on the KT266A chipset. Out of the 15 KT266A boards tested, KR7A-RAID came out on top and received AnandTech's coveted Editors Choice Gold Award!

AnandTech noticed the extra effort that went into the KR7A-RAID right away: "The moment you see the KR7A-RAID you will notice its 6 PCI slots and 4 DIMM slots; the most useful of the two being the 4 DIMM slots. As we have stated numerous times before, it's quite an engineering accomplishment to be able to have 4 DIMM slots on a DDR board like the KR7-RAID. The board worked just fine with all slots populated."

ABIT's SoftMenu III impressed AnandTech as well: "On the overclocking side, the KR7A-RAID uses ABIT's trademark SoftMenu III setup. ABIT is the only manufacturer in this roundup to offer voltage adjustments for the CPU core, I/O, and memory…We had high expectations of the KR7-RAID and after our testing we had even more positive things to say. The KR7-RAID combines features, flexibility and stability in a package that we can easily recommend to anyone looking for a KT266A based motherboard."

The verdict? "Time after time, ABIT surprises us. They used to be one of the pioneers in releasing new motherboards using a new chipset, but that hasn't been the case lately. They take their time to find out what's truly needed by users and design the best solution. The ABIT KR7A-RAID didn't come out until the end of November 2001, but without a doubt, it's the best KT266A board out there. The most important thing ABIT did was the implementation of 4 DIMM slots, something hardly any other manufacturers have attempted. The board also overclocks very well, and the new Highpoint RAID controller definitely helps to make the KR7A-RAID the recipient of AnandTech Editors Choice Gold Award."
