Thanks. I am drooling but I think I will wait for faster ram. By that time the boards bugs will be worked out.

ARE WE THERE YET? HUH?

Geez I am getting so tired of waiting for this board. If I hear 10 days one more time I am going to do bad bad things.

Anyone heard if they will offer this in a non-raid version? At the rate I'm going affording mb-processor-ddr-AND multiple HD's won't happen, but single HD plus my current one is easy....would rather have an abit ddr board, but no use for raid(so far looking at the epox ddr boards)

 

[merlins_wraith]

Yes the KG7 is suppose to come in raid and non-raid versions.

and as well a LITE version with just two DIMM slots (instead of four).

 

[UnseenMenace]

Looks like a very nice DDR solution, Abit make awesome mobos

Well someone just told me there maybe a delay til August. Does anyone know or heard the same thing? In the meantime I returned my MSI board 2 months ago and has been sitting around with no computer but lots of new parts. This is really starting to annoy me. If indeed it is delayed til August me thining about picking something else and upgrade when NVidia boards comes around or SIS. Has anyone else heard the same thing? Hmmm not even sure if I want to hear the answer.

Oh man people i just got rid of my Asus A7V and my MSI K7T pro 2-A now what? the board that i thought was out is not even out yet geez where is the Abit KG7 RAID i need it i need something i can't handle this old 500mhz machine im using does anybody think i should just go with the Epox board and forget it the only thing that i don't like about the Epox board is it only has 2 DIMM slots i was hopeing 4 for more overhead.

I love the memory settings normal, fast, fastest, turbo , and Ultra.


Atomic Guy has a beta board and it is up to 1.84(11.5x160) with a 1.4 AYHJA

 

[mahmoud]

hey, this mainboard is here. in bulgaria since 2-3 weeks. And it's about $150 w/o raid and $175 w raid

Take a look at the Shuttle AK31 here=> http://www.spacewalker.com/english/

Awesome reviews, priced right, 4-DDR memory slots, and available now!

Yeah I just ordered an AK31 Rev 2 for $91. I was really interested in the AMD 761 but it's being paired up with that POS 686B South Bridge. At least the KT266 uses a newer and hopefully better one. Plus I've never spent over $95 on a motherboard and this one is priced just right. Plus, no stupid DIP switches or jumpers, everything is adjusted in the BIOS like it should be. If my Soyo BX board from 1999 can do everything in the BIOS, I wasn't gonna buy something in 2001 and uses DIP switches and jumpers!

It's coming in Monday with a 1.4 GHz Bird. I've got 256MB of Crucial DDR and a ThemoEngine H/S with a 6300 rpm fan waiting for them to arrive.

check out pricewatch and search for Abit KG7, its there for about $190. Only the full riad version though, no lite or normal versions.

 

[joey_rjm5]
