Abit KT7E is just KT7A in disguise?

What exactly is the difference between these tow seemingly identical mobos from ABIT, which they share the same layout, same BIOS and versions, same manual, allegedly the same VIA KT133A chipset. Thanks.

this doesnt use the KT133a it uses the KT133e chipset. As for the differences between those 2 im not sure. It also doesnt seem to support as high of processors as the KT7A&Raid do.

IIRC the KT7E has on-board sound and graphics.

cool looking, I wont go Asus if I have to upgrade, they are not worth for what they have asked for in local market. Asus is cheaper in US/Europe than Abit boards, so how are they going to charge me for higher than Abit boards of similar functions.
 
Thanks man again.
