Microstar K7T Master Socket-A KT133 ATX

AnandTech Motherboard Rating

Performance

The K7T Master performs a little bit above average, enough to give it a slightly above average rating but not enough to really make a difference.

Price

With so many features included in this motherboard, expect the price to be considerably more than the K7T Pro. However, also consider what you're getting in the package. The old saying, "you get what you pay for" comes into play here.

Stability

K7T Pro was rock solid and the K7T Master is no different. It again comes out to be one of the most stable KT133 motherboard we have reviewed.

Quality

The K7T Master is a very high quality motherboard which is what we're used to seeing from Microstar.

Features

The AGP Pro slot, 4 DIMM slots, 6PCI slots, Ultra160 SCSI, Firewire, ATA 33/66/100 support, IDE RAID support, Fuzzy Logic II, Live BIOS, etc… all are features that the Microstar K7T Master boasts, is there any need to say more?

Layout

The layout of the K7T Master is decent. The positioning of the SCSI controller and the Firewire controller are very appropriate. The CPU socket and the power supply connector might be a slight problem when it comes to cooling and installing/removing your CPU.

Availability

Microstar motherboards can easily be found in online stores, but do not expect to find them in many retail stores..

Documentation & Software Bundle

The manual lacks sufficient instruction for first time users, but it still contains a lot of useful information on connectors and jumper settings. The software included on the bundled CD is very useful, especially Fuzzy Logic II and Live BIOS, especially for those that aren't always comfortable with flashing their BIOSes.
