Lyle from ABIT Taiwan let us know that yesterday they released their KV7 motherboard based on VIA's single channel KT600 chipset for the AMD Athlon platform.

It is the latest "ABIT Engineered" motherboard from the Taiwanese company featuring among other things Softmenu, MAX FID and TweakGuard. I hate to be critical, but aren't all ABIT motherboards ABIT engineered?
