You can see from the results that there is a clear winner in the KT133 chipset department when it comes to gaming and performance. While the Gigabyte 7ZM is not that winner, it has its strong sale points, including its small size and stability. If you are looking for a micro-ATX motherboard, and you don’t need the hard core overclocking options, this could be the right board for you.
If you are like me however, and yearn for bigger and better things (ATA100 support, RAID support, multiplier settings in BIOS, etc etc) then there may just be another board right for you. Check back at Athlonmb.com for more updates.
