Chris Connolly van GamePC vond het nodig om een roundup online te slingeren van vier KT133A moederbordjes. Het gaat om de Asus A7V133, Abit KT7A, de Iwill KK266-R en de K7T Turbo-R MSI. De groep verschilt qua layout niet zo erg veel van elkaar: afgezien van de A7V133 hebben ze allemaal nog een ISA gleuf en ze hebben ook stuk voor stuk plenty overclock-features aan boord. De Asus A7V133 wist echter het vaakst bovenaan in de benchmarks te eindigen; op grond daarvan kreeg hij dan ook de 1e plaats toegekend. In de conclusie werden verder de KK266-R en de KT7A als het best overklokbaar aangeprezen, en de MSI KT7 Turbo-R zou het meest stabiel zijn. Voor ieder wat wils dus 
.
By looking at directly at the numbers, the choice is obvious for the best performing board, it's the Asus A7V133. This board did perform the best, but it can't be everything to everyone. If we had our choice, we'd nuke the onboard audio and the useless CNR slot and stick on a 6th PCI slot. Then again, Asus IS also trying to market this board to a much broader audience than just the tweaking/overclocking community, so we can certainly see their movies behind this board design. Still, the A7V133 is an incredible motherboard and shows what the KT-133A chipset is really capable of.
For those looking for the ultimate in overclocking, it's really a choice between the IWill KK266-R and Abit KT7A-RAID. Both boards have tons of tweaking options and will allow you to get your Athlon/Duron to the absolute maximum speed. With both boards, we were able to run our testbed Athlon chips up to 160 MHz FSB without problems. Not too bad.
As for the MSI board, it's a tough recommendation to give, but it does have a market. For those looking for the ulimate Athlon platform in terms of stability, the MSI K7T Turbo-R is the only real choice. We didn't have a single problem with this board when testing, and there's no doubt that the massive capacitors lining the CPU along with dual-regulated MOSFET's will help the board scale well beyond 1.2 GHz. [break]Chris vertelt ook nog even dat ook hij recent veel problemen heeft gehad met Abit's Athlon bordjes. Om die reden heeft hij besloten ze dan ook niet meer te leveren vanuit zijn webwinkel:[/break]These boards aren't perfect either though. We've had (and continue) to have issues with factory unlocked Athlon CPU's with the KK-266R board. On the other hand, we've already have had some serious RMA issues with the Abit KT7A-RAID boards (Not surprising folks, this is Abit) which have forced us to pull this off our company store shelves. Our Abit testing board seemed to work just fine, but over periods of time Abit boards seem to have shorter lifespans than other Athlon boards on the market. Pity.
