Okay, I just received an eMail from ABIT... ABIT stacks up again seriously. DDR memory achieved a critical quantity for the enterprise, so that ABIT will move into this market with full force action. On the VIA Tech Forum in Munich, Germany on September 13th ABIT will present its new flagship for AMD Athlon processors and DDR RAM: ABIT KR7-RAID! Chipset support on base of the VIA KT266A is presented on this mainboard. Beeing the successor of the first DDR mobo by ABIT, the extremely successful KG7 RAID on AMD760 chipset basis, this new product is a further and faster DDR-AMD alternative from the house of ABIT. Click on the small image to view a fullscreen shot! Yummy, that will be my new mainboard in december! Update: Specifications added...
