De mannen van Bench House hebben een review gemaakt van het Chaintech 7VJDA plankje. Dit moederbord is gebaseerd op de nieuwe VIA-KT266A chipset. Het bord beschikt over vijf PCI sloten, één AGP gleuf, één CNR slot, één ACR slot en drie 184 pins geheugenbankjes. Ook is er sound onboard aanwezig, middels de C-Media 8738 sound chip. Deze configuratie werd getest met een Athlon XP 1500+ en vergeleken met de Chaintech 7VJDA, de Epox 8KHA+ en de MSI K7T 266 Pro2. Hieronder een hap uit de conclusie:
At the end of the Chaintech 7VJDA model's test we can conclude that it is a very solid motherboard with decent speed performance. The final impression is spoiled by a couple of already mentioned downsides and if these are fixed CT-7VJDA can become a very attractive model. This is supported by its very competitive price (~$90 on Pricewatch).
When compared to the competition the conclusion is: Chaintech 7VJDA is the best choice if the price plays the key role in your decision making. On the other hand MSI K7T-266 Pro2 offers the biggest working comfort, especially the integrated RAID and USB 2.0 controller versions. If you enjoy having a bunch of options MSI is certainly the right decision. EPoX 8KHA+ prioritizes the speed performances, which are maximized in this model and if speed is the most important issue and at the same time you overlook the other features then there is no doubt - EpoX is an excellent choice. What can't be questioned is the fact that each of the tested motherboards will find its way to the end users. Which one of the tested models will be your favorite depends on your personal affinity towards the manufacturers as well as the expectations you have feature and speed-wise.
