Kt880

Hi!

KT880 is out! Now let's hope that KV7II, ou another more complete mdl is released by Abit. One that includes 4 x SATA RAID 0+1.

Also let's hope that the chipset has PCI Lock.

Hi SewerBeing,

What you're saying is true, however things are not perfect in either side. nForce2 is terrible in handling IDEs , which I think is even worse than Via's flaw. Also sometimes their PCI Lock is not that effective... I believe it's a matter of picking the one that bothers you less.

BTW, I will be joining the club of your signature this next Sunday. I'll upgrade to an Abit KV7, XP2500+ AQXEA 0331 and a couple of Cudas 80GB SATA. I intend to have it running at XP3200+ in daily basis!

yay a new member but anyway, I have not had a problem with my ide's and I tend to have a lot of problems, but I think not having a pci or agp lock is a tremendous design flaw. Also I have never had a problem with my pci lock either.

I'm VERY glad you never had a problem!

Unfortunately people that are not as lucky as you are can be counted by the hundreds (thousands??).

Anyway, the point is like I said before: one uses what pleases you most.
