The Test
In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you should not base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

Final Words
The Iwill KV200-R performs fairly well in our tests, however, it is not as stable as some of the other Socket-A KT133 motherboards we’ve seen.
The KV200-R is fairly feature rich, with support for ATA-100 and IDE RAID, as well as the unique PheonixNet service, unfortunately the latter will be of little use to most advanced users.
In the end, the KV200-R is a solid attempt by Iwill as their first entry into the Athlon motherboard market, however with the presence of solutions such as the ABIT KT7-RAID, the ASUS A7V and the Microstar K7T Pro, the KV200-R will find it very hard to compete.
