Bij OCworkbench is een review verschenen over het Abit KR7A moederbord. Dit moederbord is gebaseerd op de VIA KT266A chipset en kan overweg met maximaal 4GB DDR geheugen. Aanwezig zijn 6 PCI, 1 AGP en 4 DIMM sloten. Daarnaast zitten er op het moederbord een viertal IDE aansluitingen, waarvan twee gebruikt kunnen worden voor ATA133 en RAID. Naast het bezitten van veel features blijkt het moederbord ook erg goed te presteren waardoor de reviewer de volgende positieve conclusie trekt:
Sometimes I really wonder why the old KT7A performs so well compared to other boards that are based on the same chipset. The time is just ripe and ABIT KR7A show it again. The performance of the KR7A is so impressive that I could not imagine not getting one to replace my working machine that is a Slot A Athlon. Personally, I feel that ABIT has put in lots of R&D hours to bring out a board that is a killer product. They have done it again. The only thing they never introduce are the overclocking stripes from TH7-II RAID and the reset/power buttons on TH7-II. These are good stuff that should be brought onto the KR7A for DIY users.
Features wise this board uses the latest Highpoint HPT372 chipset to support ATA-133 HD. Well, the VIA KT266A does not support ATA-133 natively. Seriously, the board lack one basic feature which some of you might like or might not like - a 6 channel audio sound.
[...] In all, KR7A is definitely one of the best boards of the year. With it's excellent performance. I think no one would want to give it a miss. Again, I have to stress that this board could be more complete if some sort of diagnostics led and SPDIF audio/6 ch audio stuff can be implemented on it. I will definitely look forward to another ABIT board which supports DDR333 and ATA133 standard in the near future.
