Pros: Universal Serial Bus 2 works without any problem with Win 98
Cons: North bridge fan is cheap, eventually fails in a year of use.

| lexim50's Full Review: Abit KD7A Motherboard |
I bought this mother board since I had to use Win98 in my home-built computer. I had no problems so far except the north bridge fan failed after 10 months of use. As I read from the web forums this is a very common problem with the north bridge fans. I replaced fan with a heat sink instead of a new fan, which I know will fail in another 10 months. The procedure is simple but a hassle. Actually the mother board should be re-screwed from its place in the case to do the extraction of the north bridge fan. I advise nobody to buy a mother board with a cheap north bridge fan on it.
