The 8KTA is pretty much your basic KT133 board, it is laid out very similarly to the ABIT KT7 in that it features 6 PCI slots, a single ISA slot and no room for any AMR slots. While this won't be incredibly attractive to system integrators & OEMs, most AnandTech readers won't mind.

The board does not support any sort of multiplier adjustments although it did support voltage manipulation.

In terms of stability, the 8KTA is pretty much on par with the rest of the boards in the roundup but isn't quite on the level of the ABIT & ASUS entries.
