Sharky Extreme has posted a review on the ABIT BX133-RAID Mainboard.
In yet another enhancement of the BX chipset, ABIT has released theRead more
BX133-RAID motherboard, and it incorporates a few improvements over their existing line-up. Compared to previous ABIT BX motherboards, the
enhancements of the BX133-RAID are pretty radical, starting with a HighPoint HPT370 ATA-100 RAID controller right on-board. This allows the board to support the emerging ATA-100 standard, as well as offering enhanced RAID striping and mirroring capabilities. The BX133-RAID is also designed around the FC-PGA format, making it something of an anomaly in the high-end BX marketplace. ABIT has produced two other Socket 370 motherboards, the BM6 and the dual-CPU BP6, but they were both based on the older PPGA format used with the early Celerons. In fact, I do not know of any other name brand motherboard that offers the feature set of the BX133-RAID in a FC-PGA package. Overall, the BX133-RAID looks to be a worthy successor to ABIT´s
proud BX heritage.
