Abit NV7-133R Motherboard Review
Author: Asher Moses SUMMARY: When nVidia first came out with the news that they would be entering the AMD chipset market, the world waited with baited breath. The idea of a solid player in the performance arena plus decent graphics built onto the mainboard itself was an eagerly anticipated event. But then the board came out and it was a near disaster. But that hasn't stopped nVidia from plowing on and coming up with something better. Join Asher "Acid" Moses as he takes a look at the Abit NV7-133R Motherboard. It uses the new nVidia nForce 415 chipset to come up with a new player in the motherboard market. Can they do a better job this time around? Let's see for ourselves.
