Mike Andrawes van AnandTech heeft een review klaar van de Abit BX133-RAID plank met 1xAGP, 5xPCI, 1xISA, 3xDIMM en een HPT370 controller voor ATA-100 en RAID ondersteuning. Overklokkers kunnen dankzij het SoftMenu III weer spelen met 120 busspeeds en voltage settings. Hier een hap uit de conclusie:
ABIT eschews a lot of the gimmickry that we seem to be seeing in recent motherboard releases and comes up with a solid i440BX board with the BX133-RAID that actually adds useful features instead. While it seems the i440BX may finally be on the way out with the release of the i815, the i440BX is still a cheaper and more mature solution. On the other hand, the i440BX is missing some key features , such as AGP 4X and official 133 MHz FSB support. However, we've seen very little benefit with AGP 4X and the out of spec AGP speed that results from the i440BX at 133 MHz does not seem to be a problem for the majority of current graphics cards.
If you've decided that you want a i440BX board, the BX133-RAID should definitely be at the top of your list. It's got all the truly useful features you could ask for, including Ultra ATA/100 RAID support, more overclocking options than any other board out there, and rock solid satiability. Enough said.
