Notes

Did you notice no AMR slot!? We did too! Abit has clearly targeted the KA7 for the retail market, where most consumers already have a decent sound card/modem. We applaud Abit for making this decision, it's been awhile since we've seen a motherboard without an AMR slot.

On top of this, we get Abit's SoftMenu III technology and 4 DIMM sockets.
