The ABIT KT7-RAID pulls ever so slightly ahead of the competition, with ASUS & FIC following closely behind. All of the boards were pretty much in line with one another with the exception of the KV200-R which seemed to have some sort of performance problems. We're still trying to figure out the exact culprit of the board's sub-par performance.
This is an interesting situation, no manufacturer is able to keep up with the performance of VIA's reference board, although the FIC AZ-11 comes the closest.
Final Words
AnandTech's Editor's Choice Award is very rarely given out, simply because it takes quite a bit of effort to impress us to the point that we feel a product deserves it. ABIT's KT7-RAID has most definitely convinced us that it is deserving of the award, other than maybe the ASUS A7V, there is no other Socket-A motherboard on the market based on the KT133 chipset that you should consider to act as home to your new Athlon/Duron.
If you're in the middle of building a system and need a motherboard, the ABIT KT7 or the KT7-RAID is just what the doctor ordered. Kudos to ABIT on three successive motherboard releases that have done nothing to wipe the grins off our faces.
