Bij HardOCP is een review verschenen van de MSI K7T Pro2. Onderhand is iedere potentiële Athlon- of Duron-koper wel bekend met dit bord, dat probeert te concurreren met de Asus A7V en Abit KT7 door mogelijkheden als multiplier adjustment. De benchmarkresultaten van de K7T Pro2 zijn erg goed, net als de prestaties bij het overclocken van de CPU. Er zijn wat kleine details in de BIOS waar de reviewer over klaagt (zoals de memory-instellingen die niet compleet handmatig kunnen worden veranderd), maar deze zijn grotendeels opgelost met de nieuwste BIOS. Ondanks al deze positieve overwegingen zou de reviewer ons op dit moment niet aanraden de K7T Pro2 aan te schaffen. Er komen immers zeer binnenkort KT133A moederborden op de markt, met ondersteuning voor een 133MHz FSB:
Let me get this out of the way right quick. The K7T Pro2 is a very good motherboard. Easily the best performing SocketA motherboard I've ever used. It put up some of the best benchmarks I've ever seen, with nothing more then setting up the bios properly. It was rock solid stable once setup, never crashing, burping, or lockin' up on me. The layout is very clean, and well thought out.
With that said, I wouldn't buy it, nor would I recommend that any of you, the overclocking minions of the [H]ard|OCP buy it. Why would I say such a blasphemous thing, after heaping so much praise on the Pro2? Can we say KT133A boys and girls? It will have official 133MHz FSB support and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it'll probably be a better overall option for the typical [H]ard|OCP'er. Shoot, even MSI already has a better SocketA motherboard available, in their K7T Pro2A (adds ATA100). I guess if future upgradeablity, and ultimate overclocking isn't your bag, then the K7T Pro2 is as good a SocketA motherboard as your ever gonna get. So to you people, I say run like the wind to your favorite retailer and pick the Pro2 up. Hell, pick up two or three of 'em. But for those of us striving to achieve [H]ardness the likes of which haven't been seen since the dawn of time, you'd be best off to save your pennies for a few more days until we see some retail KT133A solutions on the shelves.
