The ABIT KT7-RAID pulls ever so slightly ahead of the competition, with ASUS & FIC following closely behind. All of the boards were pretty much in line with one another with the exception of the KV200-R which seemed to have some sort of performance problems. We're still trying to figure out the exact culprit of the board's sub-par performance.
This is an interesting situation, no manufacturer is able to keep up with the performance of VIA's reference board, although the FIC AZ-11 comes the closest.
Final Words
ASUS has impressed us yet again with the A7V, but it seems like this round is won by ABIT, mostly because of the features that their KT7-RAID offers mimic those of the A7V, as well as extend beyond what ASUS has chose to present with this board.
In spite of our preference for the KT7-RAID over the A7V, they are both equally capable motherboards, and you'll definitely be happy with either one. In the end it comes down to whether you need the ISA slot that's on the KT7, the RAID support on the KT7-RAID, and value the jumperless nature of the board's SoftMenu III setup or prefer the ASUS name, appreciate having 7 USB ports and like the somewhat lower price of the board since we have noticed that the ABIT boards are currently being priced fairly high.
In any case, if you go with the ABIT KT7-RAID or the ASUS A7V, you're not going to regret it, it all comes down to the little features to determine which board is better suited for your needs.
