Now this is more like it, Abit now has a KT333 board that is based more on the high performance lineage of the KT7/KG7/KR7 series of boards rather than the Max concepts. No doubt once all the boards are rounded out for bench testing, my bets are that the Abit KX7-R will be at the top if not at the pinnicale. It would have been nice to see 1394 Firewire support, though not critical. Had this been announced a week earlier I surely would have considered this one over the Asus A7V333.
