Hi folks,
I'm currently in the process of deciding on a new motherboard for a new system that I'm going to throw together. I'm going to be putting in a Thunderbird 1200e, but I can't decide between the Asus A7V or the Abit KT7-raid. From what I understand both have raid 0 (which is what I want), but when it all comes down to it, which board is a better buy and which board has a reputation of being more stable and offering more features?
I was all set to pick up the KT7 until I heard about the A7V, and now I'm not sure what my best choice would be. The box that I'm building is going to be a dedicated audio workstation, so having raid 0 in there and a reliable bios etc would be a priority. Correct me if I'm wrong...but does the A7V also allow you to hook up 8 ata100 drives to the motherboard in addition to raid 0?
And one last question about the Asus A7V: What's the difference between the Asus A7V and the Asus A7V133? They both have raid 0, do they not? Is one just a more recent model?
Any input on this from anybody would be extremely helpful. I'm looking to buy within the next week. Thanks!
Ryan.
