Gigabyte GA-7ZX Motherboard

Pros: It works...
Cons: ...with almost nothing it promised

I bought this board because it was the only one I could find and I needed it now. My original board had failed me (Abit KT7, see review here:

Pros: Dual BIOS, Fast, Not overpriced
Cons: None thus far...

I was just at the local computer shop (CyberCafe I believe it was this time...) and I needed a new motherboard. I had recently gotten one from CDW(Computer discount warehouse) but it was all wrong - long story not for this review - anyways...
So I...

Pros: Low price, good performance, on-board sound, some unique features, ISA slot
Cons: Useless audio modem riser, only 3 SDRAM slots

Alright, now I've read a lot of reviews on this motherboard and I have to say that if you are going to write an honest review of a product, please make sure that you are buying the correct product in the first place!! The motherboard shown in the...

Pros: On-board Creative Sound Chip, KT133 chipset, lots of expansion slots, the price
Cons: Not very high-end performance, lack of detail in the manual

Hi.

What do you, the average consumer, look for in a computer component when you purchase it? Or a motherboard, to be more specific? The 1-2% per cent gain in performace that can be expected by different boards using the same chipset? I think...

Pros: Price
Cons: Manual is pain to read

I bought this board for a Duron 850. After assembled the board works extremely efficiently. The only hard part was figuring out the jumper settings that didn't exist on the board but did in the book. I am running a Voodoo 5 on the board and have had no...

Pros: Very stable, good features, nice manual, good quality components and layout.
Cons: not for overclockers: no multiplier adjustments, just FSB.

This is a great board with everything on it for you to build a killer Socket A system on.

Most onboard sound is AC97 codec based, which leachs off your processor to run. Gigabyte actually included the Creativelabs processor that is on the...

Pros: blue
Cons: mystery stuff

this board was fairly easy to install.. the manual was not particularly well written in its descriptives in the beginning, for example the jumper settings, but the software and final board config instructions for drivers etc were all excedingly easy to...

Pros: fairly easy setup, dual bios
Cons: doesn't offer the latest dma, front end bus speed slow

i bought this board to increase my processor speed and because it was the only board offered at the store where i purchase from. only a loyal fan of amd using a k6 processor would benefit from this board. the board boasts a front end bus speed of 133mhz...

Pros: Fairly fast, 5 PCI slots, supports 133 FS Bus, supports Duron/Athlon
Cons: Mainboard failed after 2 months of use

I built a system for a friend using a gigabyte GA-7ZX a couple of months ago. It installed easily, and the feature set seemed good- 5 PCI slots, support for AMD Duron and Athlons up to 1 GHZ or more, a 133 Bus speed and a good speed rating on most...

Pros: nice board over all
Cons: watch bios settings, get the right version you want!!!!

First off, there are TWO versions. The GA-7ZX, and the GA-7ZX-1. The difference is the Ga-7ZX has the onboard sound and the ISA slot. The GA-7ZX-1 DOES NOT have the onboard sound and ISA Slot. This can be verified by going to www.giga-byte.com and...
