| Asus A7V333 (VIA KT333) Preview |
Features and photos continued...
The board itself is a typical child of the Asus A7V familiy. Only the northbridge is equiped with a
gigantic passive cooler, like it is used on the A7M266-D. And it does a good job, because the cooler
not even gets warmer than our hand.
The board is cramed with features! Besides the two ATA133 ide-connectors of VIA's onboard ide-controller
Asus put an ATA133 Promise raid-controller onto the A7V333, which can either work as an additional ATA133 controller
or as a raid 0/1 controller. And new on an Asus board: you can deactivate the controller completely by jumper,
if you don't want to use it!
A further goodie for overclockers is a jumper named "Overvoltage", which sets the cpu core voltage to over 2V.
The ATX panel of the A7V333 doesn't look quite conventional and so Asus will have to supply their customers
with fitting ATX sheets for the cases. We see two different USB connectors. The left one is the conventional
one for USB 1.1 devices, on the right you can see the USB 2.0 connectors of the onboard VIA VT6202 chip. Further
four USB 1.1 connectors are there onboard, which you can lead outside with expansion slot.
But that's not all! The A7V333 also has got support for IEEE-1394 firewire devices. There are no connectors
in the ATX panel, but they are there onboard, additionally to smartcard reader, gameport and iPanel.
The BIOS of the A7V333 is not that different to other Asus mainboards. Even in our early presample all
DRAM timings are implemented, yet. Not there yet the Command Rate, Queue-Depth and Burst-Length.
This parameters all are set to "slow" at the moment, so it doesn't make any sense to
compare our pre-release with a fully armed KT266A.
In this revision 1.00T the A7V333 will never get to market.
