Abit KD-RAID Bios B8

1. Support Athlon XP 2400+, 2600+ CPU. Please be noted that

Athlon XP 2400+ and 2600+ CPU need AMD certified heatsink;

otherwise, the system will be quite unstable or even fail to boot

up. Please check AMD recommended CPU cooler in the following URL.

2. Provide CPU multiplier up to 22X in SoftMenu.

3. Enhance DDR333 stability while "Enhance DRAM Performance"

enabled.

4. Fix LAN transfer error in 72 hours continuous LAN test while

CPU/DRAM = 100/133 and 100/166.

5. Support AMD new coming 333 CPU.

6. In case over clock the CPU frequency higher than 180MHz, don't

press reset button otherwise the system will refuse to boot up.

It's a auto protect mechanism to prevent possible hardware damage

caused by abnormal working environment.

7. HPT 372 BIOS Version 2.32. The RAID function is for KD7-RAID

only. This BIOS version is also for non RAID boards and HPT BIOS

will be automatically disabled while RAID controller chip not

detected.

8. BIOS compile date: 9/9/2002.

Specifications:

Based on the VIA KT400 chipset with supporting for the latest

Athlon, Athlon XP, Barton, and Duron CPUs, the KD7-RAID offers

unparalleled performance for your PC. The KD7-RAID features 4 DDR

DIMM slots, two of which support high-speed DDR 400 memory. The

KD7-RAID also supports the latest AGP 8X standard, providing you

unprecedented graphic performance. ATA133 with RAID 0, 1, 0+1

function makes both the speed and the security of your data vastly

improved. Combining the latest technologies with ABIT engineering

and innovation, the KD7-RAID delivers the power to drive the most

demanding applications.

AGP 8X

AGP 3.0 8X spec support high performance graphic process purpose

and at a peak bandwidth of 2.1 GB/s.

DDR400

Supports up to 2GB of DDR333/400 at a peak bandwidth and 3.5GB of

DDR200/266 of 2.7/3.2GB/s at 1.6/2.1 GB/s

5bit FID (Frequency ID)

By ABIT 5-bits FID Override technology, users can get variety of

CPU over-clocking sets. ABIT CPU H.T.P (Hardware Thermal

Protection) ABIT CPU H.T.P. uses pure hardware detection, which not

like others use software detection to prevent CPU overheating. ABIT

CPU H.T.P provides more reliable result for customers'

investment.

ABIT SoftMenu Overclocking

The overclocking function includes CPU frequency, Vcore,

multiplier, chipset & DDR voltage and AGP VDDQ voltage

adjustment available to maximize your system performance.

USB 2.0

Support speed up to 480 Mbps. Approximately forty times faster than

conventional USB 1.1

6-Channel Audio and S/PDIF Out

Let you enjoy 6-channel audio without having to buy advanced sound

cards.

RAID 0/1/0+1

Supports the most advanced ATA133 HDDs with RAID 0/1/0+1 onboard

HPT372 RAID controller enables enhanced functionality and HDDs

performance without the cost of additional add-on cards.

Do use the latest driver version available, it will help you use

the facilities of your hardware easier and better. An old version

can create hardware conflicts and errors in function. Try to stay

updated with your drivers monthly or sometimes weekly. Chose wisely

the specific drivers: motherboards driver, bios, graphic cards

drivers, modem drivers and so on. Chose the right driver for your

hardware and try to make backups of your system every time you want

to make a change.
