K7T Turbo vs KT7A

[Warlord2]

going to try and make a very low cost system

what are some pros and cons about these boards?

Ive heard some good stuff on each

trying to get a 750 duron to do 1ghz so I want a overclocker friendly board
its going to be used for Lan partys and server so I need a pretty stable board
well wich one should I get?

I am way partial to the MSI Turbo. I have yet to see a more stable and O/Cer friendly board for the money!! With the O/Cer BIOS from MSI, your journey has just begun.

I'm with TranceBear, I'm very partial to the MSI K7T-Turbo. I've used both this and an Asus A7V133, and only the MSI board could handle my AXIA t-bird with complete stability. And now that I've got my MSI setup with a RAID 0 setup......things have just gotten better. I also just received my MSI K7T-Turbo Limited Edition in the mail yesterday. BEAUTIFUL board, just gorgeous. Only problem with it is the fact that I was sent the non-raid version. I'm going to have to try and fix that.

I've seen alot of postings on how many problems the Abit board seems to have, but I've seen just as many saying how awsome it is. It's ultimatly going to be up to you, but I think either way, you'd be doing well with either.

I love my Abit KT7A and find it exceptionally stable, it runs my Duron 800 @ 1050 without any problems and never gets really high tempratures. The Abit mobo is easy to tweak though it soft bios and has lots of features.

Out of interest Hoot has a Duron 600 @ 1120 on a Abit KT7A and although this super human feat may not be obtainable by mortals such as myself, it does some what suggest that outstanding speeds are obtainable with this mobo

Yeah,
I've had good luck with my KT7A, too. I would recommend it. It's easy to OC, now it's time for me to push mine a little bit farther

I think I will go with the K7T Turbo

by the way is there a difference between the limited and K7T Turbo (MS-6330 V3.0B)

Ive seen both and the limited is just a little more money but Im wondering if it changes the performance.......
