ASUS A7V133 Socket-A KT133A ATX

Still ASUS

We did have a few complaints regarding the otherwise well made board.

For starters, the two IDE connectors from the Promise controller would be better placed in front of the DIMM slots, so that they would not block the placement of some longer AGP or PCI devices.

ASUS still doesn’t implement any jumper for clearing the CMOS.  Therefore, if you have to clear the BIOS, you will have to use a screwdriver to short two specific solder points.

There is no jumper to clear CMOS.

The expansion slot design is not the best in the world with only five PCI slots and no ISA slot, but it should be sufficient for most users.

Finally, it would be great if ASUS had included some thermal compound on the HSF unit for the North Bridge to improve cooling a bit.
