| genedelorenzo's Full Review: ASUS VIA KT133 Chipset A7V133 (A7V133/550/SWA-UAY)... |
This is a very good board with more features than most will need. On-board RAID is nice if you use it. Operation is very stable, with fewer freeze-ups or reboots than most others. ASUS normally means very good quality and this board is no exception. Documentation is excellent, but startup can be a little dicey, especially if you need the drivers off the CD rom that comes with the board, and the board won't recognize your CDRom drive without the drivers. Not a problem if you have another computer with a CDRom drive, or a friend with one, but a pain in the butt if you're on your own. ASUS should supply a floppy with the necessary drivers so you can get started without the CDRom drive. Once up and running, it's one of the finest boards I've used.
