I hope you decide to stay and become a contributing member to the site. Don't be discouraged by any ratings you get early. Everyone here started somewhere.
One thing you will want to work on to be successful here on the site is to include details in your review. Tell the reader what the product does, in as much detail as possible. The other half of the equation is the personal experience. This is truly what sets Epinions apart from the average review sites. You get a great mix of details and personal experience. try to tell your reader what you have experienced with the product. The example you used of the ATA 100 interface was excellent.
If you decide to edit this, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to re-read and re-rate it.

ATA/100 (Reply to this comment)
by vicwang
"If you want to use the ATA 100 interfaces on it you will have a lot of work in Linux, and a bit of work on win 2k"
Another solution is simply to boot with your HD connected to the standard IDE port, install your OS and ATA/100 driver, then once the driver's installed you can connect your HD to the ATA/100 port.

One more thing: (Reply to this comment)

I mislabeled the A7V133 without audio - that model is actually the A7V133WOA, not the A7V133NA.

You misunderstood what the "133" in "A7V133" means. (Reply to this comment)
by LetItRut
The Asus A7V133 comes in two versions - the A7V133 (with no suffix), which has the onboard sound and modem support, and the A7V133NA, which doesn't. As for the "133", it really means support for the newer Athlon-C processors whose front-side bus runs at 133DDR MHz (or 266MHz); the A7V (without the "133") supports only the Athlon-B or Duron processors with a 100DDR MHz (or 200MHz) front-side bus. Also, the standard IDE controller on the A7V without the "133" supports only Ultra ATA/66 - but VIA's Ultra ATA/66 controller (as integrated in the 686A South Bridge) only performs at the same burst transfer-rate level as a typical Ultra ATA/33 controller! Asus has updated that motherboard (or specifically, the A7Pro, which was an A7V without the onboard Promise Ultra ATA/100 controller) with a newer Ultra ATA/100-supporting 686B South Bridge - and calls that result the A7V-E.
